Religious Belief and Ecclesiastical Careers in Late Medieval England : Proceedings of the conference held at Strawberry Hill, Easter 1989 Hardback
Edited by Christopher Harper-Bill
Part of the Studies in the History of Medieval Religion series
Hardback
Description
Papers reflecting current research on orthodox religious practice and ecclesiastical organisation from c.1350-c.1500. This book derives from a conference held in 1989. It reflects current research on ecclesiastical organisation and on aspects of religious belief from the Black Death to the English Reformation.
On the wider front, there is an account of the diplomatic relations between the Pope and those who ruled for the infant Henry VI.
Regional studies focus on Carthusians in Somerset, and the continued attraction of the eremitical life; on the canons of Exeter cathedral and on the foundation of chantries and the endowment of churches.
Taken together, these essays show how late medieval religious belief was undermined by a variety of factors, and point up the contrast between the humanity and sensitivity of medieval religion and the nature of the faith which replaced it. Contributors: CLIVE BURGESS, ROBERT W. DUNNING, MICHAEL J. HAREN, MARGARET HARVEY, D.N. LEPINE, COLIN RICHMOND, ROBERT N. SWANSON, BENJAMIN THOMPSON.
