The Burdens of Sister Margaret: Inside a Seventeenth-Century Convent; Abridged Edition
Autor Craig Harlineen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 aug 2000
Based on a treasure trove of letters, this fascinating book tells the history of a seventeenth-century nun in a convent in Leuven and how her complaints—of sexual harassment, fears of demonic possession, alliances among the other sisters against her—led to her banishment from the convent on two occasions. Highly acclaimed when it was first published as a revealing look at female religious life in early modern Europe, the book is now available in an abridged paperbound version with a new preface by the author.
