Imagining Women's Conventual Spaces in France, 1600-1800
About this Book
Blending history with literary analysis, this study explores the convent's place in the early modern imagination. The author brackets her account between two pivotal events - the Council of Trent imposing enclosure on cloistered nuns, and the French Revolution expelling them from their cloisters two centuries later.
