This view leans heavily on prescriptive texts issued by kings and their entourages, foregrounding royal initiative and the cultural products of a small intellectual elite. However, attention to understudied texts and manuscripts of the period reveals a vibrant striving for moral improvement and positive change at all levels of society. This expressed itself in a variety of ways for different individuals and communities, whose personal relationships could be just as influential as top-down prescription. The often anonymous creators and copyists in a huge range of centres emerge as active participants in shaping and re-shaping the ideals of their world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: rethinking the Carolingian reforms – Carine van Rhijn\u003cbr\u003e1 Gender and horizontal networks in Carolingian monasticisms (up to c. 840) – Ingrid Rembold\u003cbr\u003e2 Analysing Attigny: contextualising Chrodegang of Metz’s influence on the life of canons – Stephen Ling\u003cbr\u003e3 A Carolingian ‘reform of education’?
