Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Monk in Early England M. Guizot, in his History of Civilization, says that civilization seems to him to be the sum, the expression of the whole life of nations. He defines it as a fact subsisting on two conditions and manifesting itself by two symptoms, the development of social activity and that of individual activity; the progress of society and the progress of humanity. To one of our day, looking from an environment which is characterised by so high a degree of individual and social activity, back to a less fortunate age, it would be hard to find anything of greater interest than an attempt to discover what has brought about the change. Encouraged by the statement of M. Guizot that, if limited to certain centuries and certain people, this civilization is a fact which may be described, related, we have attempted within very narrow limits of time and space a study of the work of a single class, that of the monks, toward the furtherance of the progress of society and the progress of humanity. Early England makes a particularly fortunate subject for such a study, in that valuable testimony is given by one of the monks themselves, the venerable Bede. His Ecclesiastical History of the English nation, which was finished in 731, is made up of the results of his personal knowledge and of material which he gained from correspondence with people in other parts of the island, from the archives of the church at Rome, parts of which were copied by a friendly monk, from earlier written records and from traditional accounts. These materials were gathered and put together with the thoroughness and carefulness of an author whose habits and instincts were those of a scholar, and whose familiarity with the scenes and atmosphere which he described give to his narrative a peculiar vividness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Monasticism: Its Rise and Influence The career of Glastonbury Abbey; the oldest monastery in England, is selected, to be described collaterally with this investigation, in order that a picture may be given of the interior life or the Cloister, with its glories and its sorrows, as it was played' out in that celebrated institution. A complete history of the monastic orders in England would be a great acquisition to literature. This want, felt by Coleridge, who advised Southey to write such a work, still exists and should the effort to trace a few results of monasticism upon English life and culture only induce some one with sufficient leisure and ability to undertake the more important task, the author will not have laboured in vain.

Download or read book thelfl d Lady of the Mercians and Women in Tenth Century England written by Rebecca Hardie and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Æthelflæd (c. 870–918), political leader, military strategist, and administrator of law, is one of the most important ruling women in English history. Despite her multifaceted roles and family legacy, however, her reign and relationship with other women in tenth-century England have never been the subject of a book-length study. This interdisciplinary collection of essays redresses a notable hiatus in scholarship of early medieval England. Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, and Women in Tenth-Century England argues for a reassessment of women’s political, military, literary, and domestic agency. It invites deeper reflection on the female kinships, networks, and communities that give meaning to Æthelflæd’s life, and through this shows how medieval history can invite new engagements with the past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monastic London: An Analytical Sketch of the Monks and Monasteries Within the Metropolitan Area During the Centuries 1200 to 1600 In the era whereof we write, a vast change was on the eve of taking place in England. The well-beaten paths trodden by the footsteps of centuries were being uprooted. Old things were passing away - the faith and life of ages gone were dissolving like the unsubstantial pageantry of a dream. Chivalry was beginning to expire - to our irremediable social loss in this age, it seems to have altogether become extinct - while the feudal castle as well as the peaceful monastery was doomed to destruction. All the manners, customs, beliefs, convictions, and desires of the past were fleeing before the advent of those heralding the future.

This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cistercian Order It is impossible to say whether an effective monastic discipline was kept up in any English monastery at the beginning of the tenth century, although the secularising movement must have gone less far in some than in others. But after the victories of Alfred had given comparative peace to the country, and things social and ecclesiastical were getting back again into their natural order, there were men who were dissatisfied with what they found, and sought for something better. And it was then that the rule of St. Benedict was first imposed upon English monasteries. This was a reform, and it is associated with the name of St. Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, and himself a monk, who was the chief promoter of it. The real history of the monastic orders in England begins with the establishment of the Benedictine rule here in the middle of the tenth century. It was so generally accepted that all old English monasteries that survived as monasteries until the end of the next century had become Benedictine. The others were and professed to be secular, and the attempts made with varying success by some bishops as late as the twelfth century to replace them by regulars, were a continuation of the policy begun by Dunstan. Besides the older monasteries, such new monasteries as were founded here up to nearly the end of the eleventh century were Benedictine. But then such foundations ceased, and the later ones belong to the reformed Benedictines, who used other names to distinguish themselves; to the orders of Regular Canons, black and white, and then to the various orders of friars and some others each in its turn, according to the fashion of the day, for it is evident by the dates of the foundations that fashion had much to do with them.
