| Description: |
This is a study of Anglo-Norman monastic life and thought between about 1060 and 1130 as viewed by Anselm and his biographer Eadmer. |
| Synopsis: |
Based on the Birkbeck Lectures of 1959, this seminal study looks at Anglo-Norman monastic life and thought through the lives and writings of two men: Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, the most penetrating intellect between Augustine and Aquinas, and the more commonplace but observant Eadmer, his biographer. The book is divided into two sections, the first analysing Anselm's development as a writer, theologian and statesman, and the second describing the monastic community at Cainerbury with which Anselm worked and from which emerged Eadmer, his closest disciple. The work concludes with a study of Eadmer's writings, and with an assessment of the importance of the two men as complementary examples of the Benedictine life of the period. |
