Carmel in Britain – The Hermits from Mount Carmel

Description

Carmel in Britain: The Hermits from Mount Carmel, Richard Copsey highlights the medieval Carmelites’ literary and spiritual achievements, while reassessing preconceptions about the Order’s historiography.

Looking at documentary evidence from both the worldwide Order and the provinces of the British Isles, Copsey offers the reader a wealth of information about religious life before and during the Reformation.

This volume brings together revisions of previously published work with new scholarship in the field of Carmelite studies, and previously unseen translations of early Carmelite texts.
