Our understanding of life in the early Middle Ages is dominated by
Christian churches and monasteries. It is their records and
libraries which have survived the centuries, to tell us how the
clerics, monks, and nuns who lived and worked within their walls
experienced the world around them. We thus see the lay inhabitants
of that wider world mostly when they are interacting with the
clergy. However, a few sources let us explore lay life in this
period more broadly. Beyond the Monastery Walls exploits perhaps
the richest of these: manuscript books containing formulas, or
models, for documents that do not otherwise survive. Through these
books, Warren C. Brown explores the concerns and behavior of lay
men and women in this period on their own terms, and casts fresh
light on a part of the medieval world that is usually hidden from
view. In the process, he shows how early medievalists are winning
fresh information from our sources by looking at them in new ways.
