A Tale of Two Monasteries: Westminster and Saint Denis in the Thirteenth Century
A Tale of Two Monasteries: Westminster and Saint-Denis in the Thirteenth CenturyByWilliam Chester Jordan
Publisher:Princeton University Press2009 |266 Pages | ISBN: 0691139016 | PDF | 2 MB
Jordan, a Princeton professor and a much-lauded medievalist, knows a good coincidence when he sees one. He has set about comparing and contrasting the tenures of the two abbots (which both lasted for a quarter of a century) and, along the way, he manages to provide some fascinating insights into the turbulent thirteenth-century relationship between France and England. This is a spectacularly accomplished book: learned, witty and very important. The shock is that no one has undertaken such a study before... I've said it once, and I'm told that repetition is a useful rhetorical device, so here we go again: this book is superb.
