| Summary: | Richard Pfaff, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of North Carolina, has devoted more than 40 years to the study of medieval liturgy, the fruits of which are abundantly provided in this intricately researched work. Ever since the appearance of his New Liturgical Feasts in Later Medieval England in 1970, he has demonstrated a single-minded devotion to medieval studies, without being drawn into other areas. Indeed, he laments the neglect of the medieval period (particularly the later part) by liturgical scholars as a severe limitation, occasioned perhaps by the unduly close link, as he sees it, between patristic studies and the recent process of liturgical revision. |
