Summary
"The nine essays in this volume explore the history and culture of the late-medieval Carthusians in England in order to give a clearer picture of the circumstances that made the capital's charterhouses such enigmatic, forbidding, and attractive institutions, focusing on the double charterhouses at Smithfield and Sheen and particularly on the London Charterhouse, with reference also to Syon Abbey due to its links to the Carthusians."-- Provided by publisher.
