This book traces the development of monasticism in England,
Scotland and Wales from the last half century of Anglo-Saxon
England to 1300. It explores the nature of the impact of the Norman
settlement on monastic life, and how Britain responded to new,
European ideas on monastic life. In particular, it examines
Britain's response to the needs of religious women. It covers every
aspect of the life and work of the religious orders: their daily
life, the buildings in which they lived, their contribution to
intellectual developments and to the economy. Particular attention
is paid to the relationship between religious houses and their
founders and patrons. This shows the degree of dependence of
religious houses on local patrons. Indeed, one major theme which
emerges from the book is the constant tension between the ideals of
monastic communities and the demands of the world.
