Abstract 520    $aHermits and Anchorites was published in 1914 in the series Antiquary's Books, in which Clay's first book, The Mediaeval Hospitals of England (1909), had already appeared. Volumes in the series aimed "to be comprehensive and popular, as well as accurate and scholarly; so that they may be of service to the general reader, and at the same time helpful and trustworthy books of reference to the antiquary or student". The long-lasting value of both books has been due in large measure to their appendices, in which Clay set out to list all the hospitals, or hermits and anchorites, of medieval England.
