Privacy And Solitude
The lord in his hall, the monk in his cloister: we often think of medieval people as living most of their lives in the constant company of others. By the later Middle Ages more and more men and women, including monks and nuns, aspired to enjoy time and space apart for purposes of prayer, recreation and scholarship. This book traces these trends.
