By focusing on monastic landscapes and land ownership, Jasper demonstrates that reform extended beyond abstract ideas. Rather, reform circulated locally through monastic networks and addressed practical concerns such as property boundaries and rights over water, orchards, pastures, and mills. Putting new sources, both documentary and archaeological, into conversation with monastic charters and Damian's letters, \u003ci\u003eBounded Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the interrelationship of economic practices, religious traditions, and the natural environment in the idea and implementation of reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e A Monastic Network\u003cbr\u003e The Economics of Place\u003cbr\u003e Landscapes of Sociability and Solitude\u003cbr\u003e Moral Stewardship\u003cbr\u003e Curated Wilderness\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52735145771288,"sku":"9781501777608","price":37.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bounded-wilderness-land-and-reform-at-the-hermitage-of-fonte-avellana-ca-1035-1072-hardback-9781501777608","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
