Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Professor Morris sets out to given an account of the religious history of the Latin west ... he has done so comprehensively, and with a magnificent deployment of historical scholarship and literary skill ... The book is superbly organized, and as one expects from its author it is a model of lucidity ... a thought-provoking as well as a comprehensively informative survey. It triumphantly succeeds in satisfying the needs of the expert, the student and the generalreader; may it soon be made available at a less formidable price. * H.E.J. Cowdrey, St Edmund Hall, Oxford, History No.245 October 1990 * outstandingly successful ... a masterpiece of compression ... although there is much delightful writing, much apt quotation, much helpful explanation and some ample narrative, so much is kept in view that there is no sense of waste or unbalance ... a major work of scholarship ... This is a very refreshing and rewarding book, and a splendid addition to a noble series. * C.N.L. Brooke, Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, English Historical Review July "90 * Professor Morris has written a massively impressive book. It is difficult to know what to praise first: its comprehensive coverage, its masterful synthesis, its relentless good sense, or its felicitous prose ... a superb book that will for a very long time dominate teaching and thinking about the church in the high Middle Ages. * Times Higher Education Supplement * Read more...
