Hermits and Anchorites in England, 1200-1550 Paperback / softback
Part of the Manchester Medieval Sources series
Paperback / softback
Description
This source book offers a comprehensive treatment of solitary religious lives in England in the late Middle Ages.
It covers both enclosed recluses (anchorites) and free-wandering hermits, and explores the relationship between them.
Although there has been a recent surge of interest in the solitary vocations, especially anchorites, this has focused almost exclusively on a small number of examples.
The field is in need of reinvigoration, and this book provides it.
Featuring translated extracts from a wide range of Latin, Middle English and Old French sources, as well as a scholarly introduction and commentary from one of the foremost experts in the field, Hermits and anchorites in England is an invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike. -- .
