Early on monasticism had developed procedures for ruminating on” the Bible and the works of the Church Fathers. Applying the art of logic to this theme, Anselm offers a denser version of monastic meditation that constitutes a poetics of monastic literature. Before engaging Anselm’s works, this book addresses textsby Gregory the Great, Bernard of Clairvaux, Rupert of Deutz, and Richard of St. Victorbased on the same principles.

The book then traces the decline of the monastic poetical principle in the writings of John of the Cross, Pierre de Bérulle, Calvin, and Ignatius of Loyola. A concluding chapter on Ignatius and James Joyce shows how the poetics of monasticism both survives and is exiled in modernist literature.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
