Summary: "English Monasteries" by A. Hamilton Thompson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the evolution, structure, and significance of English monasteries, exploring various monastic orders and their development throughout the medieval period. It aims to meet the needs of those interested in the architectural and cultural history of monastic life in England. The opening of the text lays the foundation for a comprehensive exploration of monasticism, beginning with the definition and purpose of a monastery, which serves as a community dedicated to religious life under specific codes and rules, primarily the rule of St. Benedict. It discusses the growth of Western monachism, the impact of early monastic figures, the emergence of different orders, and the complexities of their organization. Furthermore, it introduces the concept of the cenobite and anchorite as fundamental forms of monastic life, setting the stage for a detailed examination of the historical context and architectural distinctions of English monasteries that follows in the subsequent chapters.
