In my review of Wild Britain: Century Guide to Marshes, Fens and Broads, I've said why my books before 1995 appeared as written by Richard North, and those after as Richard D North.
I loved writing my monks book and think it's one of my better efforts. I hoped it would match Geoffrey Moorhouse's 1972 Against All Reason: Religious Life in the Modern World or Maria Boulding's 1982 A Touch of God: Eight Monastic Journeys and it comes close. As a history of monasticism, it's sound enough. As a piece of spiritual tourism it's probably rather better. And I think I did fairly well when I came to explain how our spritual approach to wilderness has reversed itself (from dread to adoration) over the centuries, and how that's seen in the course of monastic history. I'll give it 4 stars because it's flawed but I'm fond of it.
