Prayer and Thought in Monastic Tradition presents a chronological
picture of the development of monastic thought and prayer from the
early English Church (Bede, Adomnan) through to the 17th Century
and William Law's religious community at King's Cliffe. Essays
interact with different facets of monastic life, assessing the
development and contribution of figures such as Boniface, the
Venerable Bede, Anselm of Canterbury and Bernard of Clairvaux. The
varying modes and outputs of the monastic life of prayer are
considered, with focus on the use of different literary techniques
in the creation of monastic documents, the interaction between
monks and the laity, the creation of prayers and the purpose and
structure of prayer in different contexts. The volume also
discusses the nature of translation of classic monastic works, and
the difficulties the translator faces. The highly distinguished
contributors include; G.R. Evans, Sarah Foot, Henry Mayr-Harting,
Brian McGuire, Henry Wansbrough and Rowan Williams.
