St. Oswald of Worcester: Life and Influence (Studies in the Early History of Britain) by Nicholas Brooks & Catherine Cubitt
|
St. Oswald was the youngest of the three great monastic reformers of tenth-century England whose work transformed English relgious, intellectual and political life. Certainly a more effective figure than either St Dunstan or St Ethelwold, Oswald's impact upon his Cathedral at Worcester and York and upon his West Midland and East Anglian monasteries was radical and lasting.
In this volume, researchers throw light on St Oswald's background, career, influence and cult and on the society that he helped to shape. His cathedral at Worcester and his monastery at Ramsey were among the richest and best documented Anglo-Saxon churches. |
