"This book covers Bernard's life from birth to death--from 1090 to1153--with the background of the first great medieval reformation of the Church and the founding and expansion of the Cistercian Order. It addresses what brought him to the monastery, how he related to its abbot, Stephen Harding, and what it was like to found a daughter house for Cãiteaux at Clairvaux. Bernard is seen through his first attempts to apply his knowledge and convictions on behalf of monks and abbots outside his own monastery."--
