Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Abbeys' is an authoritative and beautifully written survey of the medieval monastic houses of Great Britain, authored by the renowned scholar and medievalist M. R. James. This work provides a detailed exploration of the architecture, history, and daily life within the great abbeys that once defined the religious and social landscape of the English countryside. James combines his deep erudition with an accessible narrative style, guiding the reader through the ruins and remains of legendary sites such as Glastonbury, Tintern, and Fountains.The book delves into the various monastic orders-including the Benedictines, Cistercians, and Augustinians-explaining their distinct architectural styles and the spiritual motivations behind their construction. Rich in historical context, the text examines the rise of these institutions, their role in medieval society, and their eventual dissolution. Scholars and history enthusiasts alike will find 'Abbeys' to be an indispensable resource for understanding the structural and cultural legacy of Britain's ecclesiastical heritage.
