Richard J. Goodrich examines the attempt by the fifth-century
ascetic writer John Cassian to influence and shape the development
of Western monasticism. Goodrich's close analysis of Cassian's
earliest work (The Institutes) focuses on his interaction with the
values and preconceptions of a traditional Roman elite, as well as
his engagement with contemporary writers. By placing The Institutes
in context, Goodrich demonstrates just how revolutionary this
foundational work was for its time and milieu.
