Danièle Hervieu-Léger’s ‘Le Temps Des Moines’ (2017)
// July 30th, 2020 // Reviews
Europe’s pre-eminent sociologist of religion’s monumental meditation on the drama of French monasticism since the Revolution. The best book I have reviewed in a very long time. The author marries a highly personal sensitivity to coolly analytic description and interpretation in a way that far outshines most of her English counterparts.
