Book: Durham Priory 1400-1450 In the course of this work, Dr Dobson is able to throw new light on the universal aspirations and pre occupations of medieval monasticism. He reconstructs life in Durham in the century before its final dissolution and concludes that it was an example of ?comparatively successful conservatism? during a period in English history characterized by institutional resistance to social and intellectual change.
