| Abstract | This is the second of two sessions which will challenge and explore the traditional notion of rigid boundaries between different forms of the religious life throughout the Middle Ages. Papers in this session will investigate the permeable and fluid nature of these boundaries by looking at the rhetoric of celibacy and its meaning for professional religious in late 10th-century England, at the monks who left their community to join a different one in the long 12th century, and at some religious reformers active towards the end of the 14th century who seemed to operate irrespective of rigid distinctions between monastic and canonical communities. |
