Full Description
This volume seeks—through the work of a number of experts in various fields—to explore monastic life as embodied by Carthusian monks and nuns. Medieval and Early Modern Carthusians are omnipresent in a number of topics in medieval studies—literature, history, art, religious life, and the development of intellectual and theological thought. Moreover, these religious men and women were significant contributors to Medieval and Early Modern culture, society, and spirituality. Despite Carthusians' influence and popularity during this time, they have often escaped scholarly attention. As a multi-pronged and interdisciplinary study, this volume offers a comprehensive, yet nuanced re-examination of the Carthusian way of life: one that often challenges long-standing assumptions about the Carthusians and their place within Western Christianity and civilization. The breadth and depth of this volume will appeal not only to the seasoned scholar and graduate students, but also to newcomers to the field.
