Book Description

Excerpt from The Foreign Quarterly Review, Vol. 30: October, 1842, and January, 1843 In studies such as this, combined with unusu ally rigorous asceticism of life, Anselm lived for thirty-three years in retirement: as Monk, Prior, and after the death of Herluin in 1078, as Abbot of Bec. In the meantime changes had taken place in the world, which could not be indifferent to the most devoted recluse. The Norman dominion had been introduced and firmly established in England, and prob ably Anselm may have thought less of the conqueror's usurpation and cruel tyranny.
