Double-weighted statement
Eight years in the making, and informed by many previously overlooked texts (two of them edited and translated by the author), this 250-page book questions society's attitudes towards asceticism in the period c. 950-1200. Its intention is to reveal a society torn two ways, between a desire to placate an angry God and its love of worldly things. Laudatory reviews have appeared in the TLS, AHR, THES, JEH, etc.
