Books by Lynette Olson

This study considers the Celtic, pre-Norman, Cornish monasteries through written sources, place-names and material remains. The emphasis is on identifying the sites and tracing their survival to later periods. The author also considers the progress of monasticism and its role in Church and society.

Lynette Olson offers an exploration of the fascinating original formation of Europe from the fall of Rome to the First Crusade. Written in an easy-to-follow century-by-century format and richly illustrated, with due attention given to the female population and the secular side of life, this book will engage both students and scholars.
