Book Description
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 Description
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.
