Suger, Abbot of the French abbey of Saint-Denis, lived from 1081 to 1151. He has been best known for his contribution as a patron of art and architecture. Only by bringing together differing humanistic perspectives on Suger and Saint-Denis has it been possible to achieve, for the first time, a fully rounded appreciation of a man who was, at the same time, a patron of the arts and literature, a politican who adroitly used his ecclesiastrical position to enhance the growth and power of the monarchy, and a churchman consistently devoted to the promotion of the cult of Saint-Denis, the patron saint of his abbey and of France.
