The spiritual and material concerns of England's great religious houses, from ecstasy to accounting, fashioned medieval society more deeply than the modern observer can readily grasp. Through manuscript records and the fragments of once unequalled architecture, the author gives a vivid and meticulous account of medieval monasticism in all its aspects. He describes how monasticism in England collapsed so quickly after centuries of growth, and discusses what was to be the fate of so much learning, art and architecture, and of the men and women who had sustained them.
