...visited sites as Assisi and Mont-Saint-Michel but also monasteries that seem more like eagles' aeries, such as Saint-Martin-du-Canigou in southern France. The text, moreover, is a lucid, sympathetic but judicious treatise on the monastic life and its reverberations in society, written by Medievalist Brooke, a historian at London University...
