A Watch in the Nighttells of one Jacopone da Todi, a famous poet of the Middle Ages. Devastated by the sudden death of his wife, Jacopone forsakes all his earthly possessions, undertaking a new life of asceticism and penance and eventually joining the Franciscan Order. There he assumes a critical role in the Order’s internal struggles between the Conventuals, who affirm a more lenient interpretation of St. Francis’s rule, and “Spirituals,” who uphold absolute poverty as the “distinctive grace” of the Order. After his enthusiastic support for the Spirituals ends in disillusionment, Jacopone withdraws, subdued. Yet when the plague strikes Italy, Jacopone must face the ultimate test and summon the courage to offer the supreme sacrifice. 
Lauded by the 1934 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction jury for its “accurate background, sharply etched characters, and highly dramatic plot,” A Watch in the Night is an extraordinary story, vividly told—historical fiction at its finest, representing its real-life subjects with veracious aplomb.
