"Monasticism in Late Medieval England, c.1300-1535" provides the
first collection of translated sources on this subject. The volume
covers both male and female houses of all orders and sizes, and
offers a range of new perspectives on the character and reputation
of English monasteries in the later middle ages.
The first section surveys the internal affairs of English
monasteries, including recruitment, the monastic economy, standards
of observance and learning. The second part looks at the relations
between monasteries and the world, exploring the monastic
contribution to late medieval religion and society and lay
attitudes towards monks and nuns in the years leading up to the
Dissolution.
This book is an ideal introduction to this topic for students
and scholars. Supported by an extended and accessible introduction,
this collection of documents gives an unrivalled insight into the
last phase of monastic life in medieval England.
