Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scenes Characters of the Middle Ages We do not aim in these chapter at writing general history, or systematic treatises. Our business is to give a series of sketches of mediaeval life and mediæval characters, looked at especially from the artist´s point of view. And first we have to do with the monks of the Middle Ages. One branch of this subject has already been treated in Mrs. Jameson´s "Legends of the Monastic Orders." This accomplished lady has very pleasingly narrated the traditionary histories of the founders and saints of the orders, which have furnished subjects for the greatest works of mediæval art; and she has placed monachism before her readers in its noblest and most poetical aspect. Our humbler task is to give a view of the familiar daily life of ordinary monks in their monasteries, and of the way in which they enter into the general life without the cloister; - such a sketch as an art-student might wish to have who is about to study that picturesque mediæval period of English history for subjects for his pencil.
