This is clearly demonstrated by the book at hand, on the Dominicans in and originating from the British isles. Firstly, because the Dominicans arrived in England in the summer of 1221, five years after the papal approval of the Order, which implies a history of more than eight centuries. Secondly, in line with the venerable Anglo-Saxon historiographical tradition, the [author] aims at telling this story in a single book. And thirdly, and this is perhaps the most important reason, [he] is himself a son of the English Dominican province, knowing that the other brethren will be among his most critical readers … Finn's enterprise was a daring one indeed, but one he has successfully accomplished.'

Eight centuries have passed since the Friars Preachers landed on England's shores. Yet no book charting the history of the English Province has appeared for close on a hundred years. Richard Finn now sets right this neglect. He guides the reader engagingly and authoritatively through the medieval, early modern and contemporary periods: from the arrival of the first Black Friars – and the Province's 1221 foundation by Gilbert de Fresnay – to Dominican missions to the Caribbean and Southern Africa and seismic changes in church and society after Vatican II. He discusses the Province's medieval resilience and sudden Reformation collapse; attempts in the 1650s to restore it; its Babylonian Exile in the Low Countries; its virtual disappearance in the nineteenth century; and its unlikely modern revival. This is an essential work for medievalists, theologians and historians alike.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
