Excerpt from The Hermits and Anchorites of England I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to all those who have rendered assistance in the preparation of this volume, by the supply of materials, and the loan of manuscripts, books, engravings, and photographs. Particular mention must be made of Miss M.Leaf, who has kindly permitted her drawings of the "Prick of Conscience" window to be reproduced. The valued help of a large number of correspondents and helpers can of necessity only be acknowledged privately, but I should like to name Canon C.W. Foster, Mr. E.L. Guilford, Mr. H.B. McCall, Mr. W. Brown, Mr. J.W. Clay, Mr. A.G. Little, Rev. C.H. Evelyn-White, Canon Wilson, Rev. Dr. Wilson, Rev. B. Zimmerman, Canon Deedes, and Mr. W. Farrar. Mr. W. Rye, of Lammas, generously granted me access to his Norfolk MSS., especially to Mr. John L'Estrange's transcripts of wills from the Norwich Registers. Canon Wordsworth, Rev. R.M. Serjeantson, and Rev. H. Salter freely placed at my disposal notes relating to Wiltshire, Northamptonshire, and Oxfordshire; and to other good offices Mr. Salter has added that of proof-reading. To Rev. Dr. J.C. Cox I owe much, both in planning and carrying out this book. In conclusion, heartfelt thanks are offered to my friends, Miss Arnold-Forster, Rev. M.F. Peterson, Prof. G.H.

Book Description
This source book offers a comprehensive treatment of solitary religious lives in England in the late Middle Ages. It covers both enclosed recluses (anchorites) and free-wandering hermits, and explores the relationship between them. Although there has been a recent surge of interest in the solitary vocations, especially anchorites, this has focused almost exclusively on a small number of examples. The field is in need of reinvigoration, and this book provides it. Featuring translated extracts from a wide range of Latin, Middle English and Old French sources, as well as a scholarly introduction and commentary from one of the foremost experts in the field, Hermits and anchorites in England is an invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Hermits St. Paphnutius used to tell a story which may serve as a fit introduction to this book. It contains a miniature sketch, not only of the social state of Egypt, but of the whole Roman Empire, and of the causes which led to the famous monastic movement in the beginning of the fifth century after Christ. Now Paphnutius was a wise and holy hermit, the Father, Abba, or Abbot of many monks; and after he had trained himself in the desert with all severity for many years, he besought God to show him which of His saints he was like. And it was said to him, Thou art like a certain flute-player in the city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This source book offers a comprehensive treatment of the solitary religious lives in England in the late Middle Ages. It covers both enclosed anchorites or recluses and freely-wandering hermits, and explores the relation between them. The sources selected for the volume are designed to complement better-known works connected with the solitary lives, such as the anchoritic guide Ancrene Wisse, or St Aelred of Rievaulx's rule for his sister; or late medieval mystical authors including the hermit Richard Rolle or the anchorite Julian of Norwich. They illustrate the range of solitary lives that were possible in late medieval England, practical considerations around questions of material support, prescribed ideals of behaviour, and spiritual aspiration. It also covers the mechanisms and structures that were put in place by both civil and religious authorities to administer and regulate the vocations. Coverage extends into the Reformation period to include evidence for the fate of solitaries during the dissolutions and their aftermath. The material selected includes visual sources, such as manuscript illustrations, architectural plans and photographs of standing remains, as well as excerpts from texts. Most of the latter are translated here for the first time, and a significant proportion are taken from previously unpublished sources.-- publisher.
