Durham Priory 1400-1450 (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Third Series)

Dr Dobson throws new light on the universal aspirations and pre occupations of medieval monasticism. He reconstructs life in Durham in the century before its final dissolution and concludes that it was an example of 'comparatively successful conservatism' during a period in English history characterized by institutional resistance to social and intellectual change.Dobson, R.
