This volume explores the rich diversity of the Franciscan contribution to the life of the order and its ministry throughout England between 1224 and c. 1350. The 21 contributions examine the friars’ impact across the different strata of English society, from the parish churches, the missions, the royal courts and the universities. Friars were ubiquitous in England throughout this period and they participated in various programmes of renewal.

"This is the fourteenth volume in the Medieval Franciscans series and commemorates the contributions made to Franciscan studies by the late Dr Rosalind B. Brooke. It features multidisciplinary contributions from a range of international scholars, with twenty-one essays grouped around five themes [...] The English Province of the Franciscans is certainly a hefty tome but provides a detailed and significant contribution to the study of the Franciscans in their early years in England and is a worthy addition to the Medieval Franciscans series."
