Isle of the Saints recreates the harsh yet richly spiritual world of medieval Irish monks on the Christian frontier of barbarian Europe. Lisa Bitel draws on accounts of saints' lives written between 800 and 1200 to explain, from the monks' own perspective, the social networks that bound them to one another and to their secular neighbors.
Lisa M. Bitel is Professor of History and Religion at the University of Southern California. She is the author of Land of Women, also from Cornell, as well as Landscape with Two Saints and Women in Early Medieval Europe, 400-1100.
