Sommario/riassunto |
|
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. |
