Reviews

A highly recommended masterpiece, a model of how historians should investigate the cross-cultural contacts between two elites, seemingly opposites, in the High Middle Ages. CHURCH HISTORY Demonstrates very effectively the ways in which military metaphors were employed to describe spiritual struggles, and provides many insights into the monastic mind. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW This important book is a welcome addition to the recent literature on the relations between medieval church and society. THE CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW Skilfully demonstrates that martial imagery was a major force in the creation of monastic culture. (...) Truly a remarkable achievement. Highly recommended. CHOICE
