Angelic Monks and Earthly Men: Monasticism and Its Meaning to Medieval Society (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780851157375)

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.'
