Reviews

A thorough, well-detailed book.
*CHURCH HISTORY*

An important study of later medieval patronage. This is an excellent study, providing the basis for understanding the functioning of the great majority of monastic houses that were neither rich nor filled with religious long after their original foundation but before their eventual suppression.
*.*

Stöber has provided an extensive and very readable survey of the later medieval lay patrons that extends our understanding of their monastic houses and their piety. It is a very real contribution to monastic studies in England and Wales.
*CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW*

Informative, persuasive and well-documented. This book should be on the shelves of academics as well as monastic libraries.
*SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL*

[This] faultless book rescues a neglected subject.
*THE TABLET*

Stöber's range of source material, coverage of the varied religious orders and location of houses in England and Wales must be commended. This piece is weighty in providing examples from as many monasteries and nunneries, where possible, and endeavors to give the reader a broader understanding of lay patronage in this period.
*HISTORIANS OF WOMEN RELIGIOUS website*

Offers a valuable contribution to attempts to understand the role of religious houses in English society between c.1300 and the Dissolutions.
