Abstract | This session aims to examine the extent to which anchorites in the Middle Ages were part of a complex network of solitaries, rather than being the isolated figures which modern scholarship has configured them as. It will investigate the notion of communities of anchorites an the extent to which they interacted and had an effect upon the communities which housed them. |
