- W2529593975 abstract "Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire: La Renaissance de l'Abbaye de Fleury, 1850-1994. By Alphonse de Saint Vincent, O.S.B. Bibliothtque Beauchesne: Religions, Societe, Politique, 24. (Paris: Beauchesne. 1994. Pp. 335. FF 150.) Important questions about the nineteenth-century revival of monasticism in France have yet to be fully answered. Was it a surviving tradition reasserting itself? If so, was this surviving monasticism the same genre of social phenomenon as medieval monasticism? Or were, for example, the Jesuits under the Old Regime and then the University the real successors of Cluny and Citeaux at their height? In France, probably more than elsewhere, continuity of buildings and garb assured the appearance of institutional continuity. But the survival-revival question, complicated by our questions about social and political significance, perdures. Such questions must be dealt with, if we are to get beyond pure chronicle, however valuable and necessary a well shaped chronicle might be. Alphonse de Saint Vincent, following in the tradition of Louis Soltner on Solesmes and Denis Huerre on Pierre-qui-Vire, has produced an erudite and readable account of the re-establishment of the monastic life in the ancient abbey of Fleury at St.-Benoit-sur-Loire. He has given us a well shaped chronicle of parish life and Benedictine presence at St.-Benoit-sur-Loire since the Revolution. More importantly, he has illuminated the relationship of St. Benoit-sur-Loire with the Benedictine revival in Europe, with the political fortunes of French Catholicism, and with French national life. His choice of primary source documents for the book's appendix is astute, helpful, and should be used by readers as they make their way through the text. The Revolution and the Terror destroyed Fleury. Summing up these sad events, the author begins his chronicle in earnest in 1849, when Felix Dupanloup was named Bishop of Orleans. Then he narrates the roles of Dom Eldrad de Fazy, reorganizer of monasticism at the ancient abbey of Subiaco, Father Jean-Baptiste Muard, founder of Pierre-qui-Vire, Dom Prosper Gueranger, and Count de Montalembert, intellectually and practically preoccupied with monastic revival projects. Dupanloup found it most productive to deal with Father Muard, perhaps because the latter was not a consistent, dogmatic, institutional type. But Dupanloup and Muard's community of Pierre-qui-Vire could not work out the difficult arrangement of parish and monastery together; a genuine monastic revival would wait another eighty years and the twentieth century. Meanwhile, the community sent its monks to establish the mission of the Sacred Heart in far-off Indian Territory (U.S.A.), in actual fact, about forty-five miles from where I sit writing this review.
