From the deserts of Egypt to the emergence of the great monastic
orders, the story of late antique and medieval monasticism in the
West used to be straightforward. But today we see the story as far
'messier' - less linear, less unified, and more historicized. In
the first part of this book, the reader is introduced to the
astonishing variety of forms and experiences of the monastic life,
their continuous transformation, and their embedding in physical,
socio-economic, and even personal settings. The second part surveys
and discusses the extensive international scholarship on which the
first part is built. The third part, a research tool, rounds off
the volume with a carefully representative bibliography of
literature and primary sources.
