But death still has a hand upon his shoulder, even in such idyllic surroundings. John Aislabie, Tom's reluctant host, is being tormented by anonymous letters threatening murder.

Book excerpt: The study of monasteries has come a long way since late the late 19th century. The emphasis has shifted away from reconstructing the layouts of monastic buildings to a better understanding of the wider monastic environment. The papers in this volume, partly based on a conference held in Oxford in 1994, are written by some of today's foremost scholars and reflect the diversity of research now being carried out.

Book excerpt: A roman a clef--fictional in its detail, but autobiographical in its pathetic trajectory. A girl, Laura, grows up by a ruined abbey in Northumberland; she is sexually assaulted by a man she finds collecting shells on the beach; she tells no one. Later, her father, a gambler, sells his grand house, a move that both liberates and diminishes him (with fatal results for his marriage), and his daughter struggles to fit in at a state school. Quietly, but with a certain gusto, she takes up drugs. On a school trip, she sees a painting by Christopher Kovel, a man of European background who loiters at the fringes of her parents' social set. She writes to him and they become desultory lovers. The affair only peters out once Laura is in prison and Kovel marries his long-term mistress.

Download or read book The Medieval Monastery written by Roger Rosewell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated look at life in abbeys and priories, and within the monastic orders, in the middle ages. Monasteries are among the most intriguing and enduring symbols of Britain's medieval heritage. Simultaneously places of prayer and spirituality, power and charity, learning and invention, they survive today as haunting ruins, great houses and as some of our most important cathedrals and churches. This book examines the growth of monasticism and the different orders of monks; the architecture and administration of monasteries; the daily life of monks and nuns; the art of monasteries and their libraries; their role in caring for the poor and sick; their power and wealth; their decline and suppression; and their ruin and rescue. With beautiful photographs, it illustrates some of Britain's finest surviving monastic buildings such as the cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral and the awe-inspiring ruins of Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire.
