This book explores the relationship between the papacy and reform
against the backdrop of social and religious change in later tenth
and eleventh-century Europe. Placing this relationship in the
context of the debate about 'transformation', it reverses the
recent trend among historians to emphasise the reform developments
in the localities at the expense of those being undertaken in Rome.
It focuses on how the papacy took an increasingly active part in
shaping the direction of both its own reform and that of society,
whose reform became an essential part of realising its objective of
a free and independent Church. It also addresses the role of the
Latin Church in western Europe around the year 1000, the
historiography of reform, the significance of the 'Peace of God' as
a reformist movement, the development of the papacy in the eleventh
century, the changing attitudes towards simony, clerical marriage
and lay investiture, reformist rhetoric aimed at the clergy, and
how reformist writings sought to change the behaviour and
expectations of the aristocracy. Summarising current literature
while presenting a cogent and nuanced argument about the complex
nature and development of reform, this book will be invaluable for
an undergraduate and specialist audience alike. -- .
