This 1999 book explores the dramatic growth of the monastic order
in Yorkshire from the foundation of the first post-Conquest abbey
at Selby in 1069 to 1215. The first half examines the dynamics of
monastic expansion, discussing the influences on both its
chronological development and its geographical pattern. It
demonstrates that the monastic expansion owed much to the
particular political and tenurial conditions which existed in the
century after 1069: the establishment of Norman political
ascendancy, the extension of central government under Henry I, and
the civil war of the reign of King Stephen. The second part of the
book explores recruitment, patronage, economy and cultural life.
Particular attention is paid to the role of women in the religious
life. Nunneries, so often regarded as second-class or failed
monasteries, are here shown to have had a distinctive function in
society, in terms both of recruitment and of interaction with the
local community.
