Synopsis
In an era when the sounds of monasticism's interior life speak to a new generation, Eleanor Shipley Duckett offers an illuminated description of its development under such figures as Columban, "the saint afire with Irish enthusiam"; St Benedict, greatest of the monks, who established a pattern of the religious life still vibrant to this day; & St Gregory, Benedict's pupil & greatest of the popes, who more than any other prepared the See of Rome for its triumphant emergence in the Middle Ages."Professor Duckett writes a history of this period that is as full of intellectual excitement as those centuries were of military excitement."--Christian Century"New light on the troubled origins of the medieval spirit."--New RepublicEleanor Shipley Duckett was Professor Emerita of Latin Languages & Literature at Smith College.
