Reviews
"...Logan has asked a modest but interesting and revealing question of the records of ecclesiastical history and, after exhaustive research, offers up a very thorough answer....Many compelling human vignettes are offered in this highly readable book." Choice, "...it is a great relief and pleasure to review Professor Logan's balanced and sympathetic study of runaway religious in medieval England. Dr. Logan's book is a very welcome addition to our knowledge and his researches do serve to bring a lot of light to what has been a subject full of individual anecdotes and badly in need of a balanced overall survey. His careful, judicial and well written account of his findings has produced a book which anyone studying medieval relgious life should read." Richard Copsey, The Medieval Review, ...this study is to be most warmly welcomed as the first authoritative account of a much-neglected field; its findings must now be taken into account by all scholars of monastic history.|9780521475020|, "...the collection and organization of the hard data found in the appendix will provide a good base for the thoughtful reader's interpretive powers." Jo Ann McNamara, Albion, "...the collection and organization of the hard data found in the apprendix will provide a good base for the thoughtful reader's interpretive powers." Albion, "Logan has produced a welcome, one might almost say definitive study of a neglected aspect of English monastic history. There are five appendixes, a select bibliography, and indexes could have been fuller and subjects. The subject index could have been fuller and better arranged, for the book contains much incidental detail of interest to a wider audience." F.G. Cowley, American Historical Review

Synopsis
The first study of the lives of the 'runaway religious', the monks, canons and friars who fled their monasteries and returned to a life in the world only to be pursued by the Church authorities., Runaway religious were monks, canons and friars who had taken vows of religion and who, with benefit of neither permission nor dispensation and for myriad reasons, fled their monasteries and returned to a life in the world, usually replacing the religious habit with lay clothes. Not only the normal tugs of the world drew them away: other less obvious yet equally human motives, such as boredom, led to a return to the world. The church pursued them with her severest penalty, excommunication, in the express hope that penalties would lead to the return of the straying sheep. This book is the first to tell their story., The 'runaway religious' were monks, canons and friars who had taken vows of religion and who, with benefit of neither permission nor dispensation, fled their monasteries and returned to a life in the world, usually replacing the religious habit with lay clothes. No legal exit for the discontented was permitted - religious vows were like marriage vows in this respect - until the financial crisis caused by the Great Schism created a market in dispensations for priests in religious orders to leave, take benefices, and live as secular priests. The church therefore pursued runaways with her severest penalty, excommunication, in the express hope that penalties would lead to the return of the straying sheep. Once back, whether by free choice or by force, the runaway was received not with a feast for a prodigal but, in a rite of stark severity, with the imposition of penalties deemed suitable for a sinner.

- n***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy statue was exactly as described, it was un-opened and in perfect condition! Totally wirth the price. Getting it shipped took a little long but the seller was very responsive when I messaged and sent me the tracking as soon as it was available. Plus they did a good job packaging it well enough that despite being banged up on the outside my item was completely undamaged.
- r***b (117)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGraphic novel album was sealed, NM, great value. Seller was great and responsive to communication. Item initially did not arrive despite tracking and me calling USPS, and seller was willing to provide refund to make it right. Ultimately the package showed up days later, which was baffling; seller provided A+ customer service through all of this. Thank You!
- 2***0 (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe basket is perfectly what I ordered and as listed. It came in the factory packaging and was perfect upon delivery. Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.
