Synopsis
English Monasticism: Its Rise And Influence by O'dell Travers Hill is a sweeping study that traces the growth, wealth, and influence of English monastic life from late antiquity to Tudor England. The author treats Benedictine foundations and later reform movements, notably Franciscan renewal and the rise of mendicant ideals, as engines of learning, culture, and social welfare. Through a detailed case study of Glastonbury Abbey, the book explores monastic governance, librarian culture, liturgy, and the material world of relics, lands, and manuscripts. It also situates monastic life within broader political and religious upheavals, including the conflicts between English crowns and Rome, the emergence of vernacular religion via Wyclif and the Lollards, and the dramatic dissolution of monasteries under Henry VIII. Appendices draw connections to early British church origins, Arthurian legend, and the pre-Augustinian Christian heritage. Overall, the work presents monasticism as a noble yet contested force that helped preserve learning and culture while evolving under political pressures.
