This 2009 book provides a comprehensive historical treatment of the
Latin liturgy in medieval England. Richard Pfaff constructs a
history of the worship carried out in churches - cathedral,
monastic, or parish - primarily through the surviving manuscripts
of service books, and sets this within the context of the wider
political, ecclesiastical, and cultural history of the period. The
main focus is on the mass and daily office, treated both
chronologically and by type, the liturgies of each religious order
and each secular 'use' being studied individually. Furthermore,
hagiographical and historiographical themes - respectively, which
saints are prominent in a given witness and how the labors of
scholars over the last century and a half have both furthered and,
in some cases, impeded our understandings - are explored
throughout. The book thus provides both a narrative account and a
reference tool of permanent value.
