Craig A. Monson

3.4/5 ( ratings)
Craig A Monson has been fascinated by Renaissance and Baroque European history and culture for half-a-century, and by Native American history and culture since the late 1940s. His most familiar books are Nuns Behaving Badly: Music, Magic, Art, and Arson in the Convents of Italy , Divas in the Convent: Nuns, Music and Defiance in 17th-century Italy , and Habitual Offenders: A True Tale of Nuns, Prostitutes, and Murderers in 17th-century Italy . Educated at Yale, Oxford, U.C. Berkeley, and Navajo Community College, he taught at Yale, as visiting distinguished professor at Amherst, and at Washington University in St Louis, where he retired as Paul Tietjens Professor of Music in 2015. When not teaching, researching, and writing, he has built the occasional harpsichord, completed an award-winning restoration of an 1840s Greek Revival house in New Haven, CT, restored a late-1870s townhouse in St Louis, MO, and restored half-a-dozen vintage campers and travel trailers, dating from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. When not in St Louis, he spends his time in Italy and in Santa Fe, NM, where he passed several summers and winters in a tipi in the Cerrillos Hills, and where he now lives off-and-on in a restored 1953 Lighthouse Duplex travel trailer, .
