Medievalists have long taught that highly emotional Christian
devotion, often called 'affective piety', appeared in Europe after
the twelfth century and was primarily practiced by communities of
mendicants, lay people and women. Emotional monasticism challenges
this view. The first study of affective piety in an
eleventh-century monastic context, it traces the early history of
affective devotion through the life and works of the earliest known
writer of emotional prayers, John of Fecamp, abbot of the Norman
monastery of Fecamp from 1028-78. Exposing the early medieval
monastic roots of later medieval affective piety, the book casts a
new light on the devotional life of monks in Europe before the
twelfth century and redefines how medievalists should teach the
history of Christianity. -- .
