Description

Explore the hidden lives of English nuns in exile through this detailed historical study. Nicky Hallett provides a deep look into the role of the senses within enclosed religious communities between 1600 and 1800. By examining newly-uncovered manuscripts from two English convents near Antwerp, this book offers a fresh perspective on how sensory experiences shaped life in these settings. This research uses a wide range of previously unpublished writings, including chronicles, confessions, letters, and poetry. These personal testimonies allow for a new understanding of sensory origins that challenges existing assumptions about religious life. It serves as an interdisciplinary investigation into the documents compiled by women living in northern Europe during the early modern period. Ideal for students and historians, this work brings to light the vivid accounts of women navigating gender and religious identity. It provides a unique window into the daily experiences and spiritual lives of these communities, making it a significant addition to the study of early modern history and women in history.
