Project description

This project aims to investigate the ways in which the cerlical elites of the eleventh century responded to the rise of religious dissent and new forms of social organisation. By investigating the discourse of contemporary sources, it will verify the tenability of commonly-accepted theories regarding the rise of urban society, clerical attitudes and religious change.
