The first account of the dissolution of the monasteries for fifty years—exploring its profound impact on the people of Tudor England
Shortly before Easter, 1540 saw the end of almost a millennium of monastic life in England. Until then religious houses had acted as a focus for education, literary, and artistic expression and even the creation of regional and national identity. Their closure, carried out in just four years between 1536 and 1540, caused a dislocation of people and a disruption of life not seen in England since the Norman Conquest.
Drawing on the records of national and regional archives as well as archaeological remains, James Clark explores the little-known lives of the last men and women who lived in England’s monasteries before the Reformation. Clark challenges received wisdom, showing that buildings were not immediately demolished and Henry VIII’s subjects were so attached to the religious houses that they kept fixtures and fittings as souvenirs. This rich, vivid history brings back into focus the prominent place of abbeys, priories, and friaries in the lives of the English people.

Involving mindless acts of cultural vandalism. They were also centres of economic activity, healthcare, charity, & much else besides. Many libraries were burned in the general destruction, and considering that only one manuscript of Beowulf existed (the Nowell Codex, saved from a later fire, in 1731, by a librarian who chucked it out the window in a timely fashion) - it’s impossible to say what may have been lost, just what it is we are missing.
This single epic poem was written out by two monks, writing in the oldest recorded form of English, and alternating in their work, in a monastery’s scriptorium, around 1000. This is how the many preciously preserved works of the ancient world come down to us.

And loads of conniving brown-nosers became rich lords & ladies. Most aristocracy can be traced back to ass kissing schemers or a man who is really good at killing & don’t care who it is.

Neither of the people above have listened to this audiobook, but they are choosing to express their opinions on it :)

“Until then religious houses had acted as a focus for education, literary, and artistic expression”, but also of nuns who were used by the priests as whores, buggery, rape of the children in their care, downright cheating and robbery of the credulous, by the use of so-called religious artifacts, schooling “prophetesses” etc, and - later - treason. good riddance.

Well done, lads, well done. Con theory much? In particular, debunked, obsolete, Reformation-era propaganda con theories? The institution which houses the greatest level of child abuse is - the family. Always has been, always will be. After that, the teaching profession & the medical profession. It’s about evil people placing themselves where they can obtain access.
The dissolution was about misappropriating land & property to pay off supporters, cultural vandalism, & a larger device & project whereby a serial killer could marry (& then later kill) his bit on the side. It was the massively obvious Brexit con of its day, in a sense, perpetrated by the Boss Class upon the credulous & gullible.
Mindless reductionism always eats itself. Especially that circular species of “The people I emotionally don’t like are all evil.”
And treason is ever a matter of dates, weaponised by the regime then in power.
Indeed the monasteries were the unmatched centres of economic activity, agricultural innovation, healthcare, charity, learning, cultural preservation, creation, activity & transmission.
