This work, first published in 1863, relates the biography of a
complex, visionary reformer from his birth in 1091 to his death in
1153, capturing in the process the major currents of
twelfth-century politics, culture and faith. From the foundation of
the Cistercian Abbey of Clairvaux to its rise as a centre of
monastic austerity and devotion, the book traces Saint Bernard's
participation in the seismic events of his day, including the
creation of the Knights Templar, the rise of scholasticism and the
preaching of the Second Crusade. Told in a lucid, anecdotal style
by the Victorian essayist, biographer and political reformer James
Cotter Morison (1832 88), whose friends included Matthew Arnold and
Thomas Carlyle, this is an important work of Victorian medievalist
criticism, capturing the spirit of its own age even as it evokes
the spirit of another.
