`Both authoritative and attractive, this is a most welcome study...
a cornucopia of facts and insights....' CHOICE Professor Milis
challenges the accepted view of monasticism as a powerful social
influence on medieval life, supporting his case with detailed
arguments. `A new assessment of the impact of monasticism on
medieval society... a notable merit is that it obliges its readers
to re-examine the assumptions which may have entered into their own
consideration of the monastic role in society and led them to a
different conclusion.' ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW [Barbara F.
Harvey]

Evidence for the survival of paganism in the medieval world. Many
aspects of the pagan past continued to survive into the middle ages
despite the introduction of Christianity, influencing forms of
behaviour and the whole mentalitéof the period. The essays
collected in this stimulating volume seek to explore aspects of the
way paganism mingled with Christian teaching to affect many
different aspects of medieval society, through a focus on such
topics as archaeology, the afterlife and sexuality, scientific
knowledge, and visionary activity. Tr. TANIS GUEST.Professor LUDO
