In this book Steven Vanderputten reevaluates the historical significance of this generation of monastic leaders through an in-depth study of one of its most prominent figures, Richard of Saint-Vanne. During his lifetime, Richard (d. 1046) served as abbot of numerous monasteries, which gained him a reputation as a highly successful administrator and reformer of monastic discipline. As Vanderputten shows, however, a more complex view of Richard's career, spirituality, and motivations enables us to better evaluate his achievements as church leader and reformer. Vanderputten analyzes various accounts of Richard's life, contemporary sources that are revealing of his worldview and self-conception, and the evidence relating to his actions as a monastic reformer and as a promoter of conversion. Richard himself conceived of his life as an evolving commentary on a wide range of issues relating to individual spirituality, monastic discipline, and religious leadership. This commentary, which combined highly conservative and revolutionary elements, reached far beyond the walls of the monastery and concerned many of the issues that would divide the church and its subjects in the later eleventh century. 606 $aAbbots$zFrance$vBiography 606 $aReligious leaders$zFrance$vBiography 606 $aMonasticism and religious orders$zFrance$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAbbots 615 0$aReligious leaders 615 0$aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory 676 $a271/.102 700 $aVanderputten$b Steven$01029209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461122903321 996 $aImagining religious leadership in the Middle Ages$92469422 997 $aUNINA
