'The Cruelest of All Mothers' examines Marie's confounding decision to abandon the young Claude, situating the event within the contexts of Marie's own writings, family life in 17th-century France, the Christian tradition, and early modern French spirituality. This book takes up Marie's decision to abandon Claude as an instance of human agency, arguing that the abandonment is best understood neither as an act of submission to the will of God nor as an act of resistance against the prevailing norms of 17th-century French family life, but rather as something in between. 410 0$aCatholic practice in North America. 606 $aMothers and sons$xReligious aspects$xCatholic Church 606 $aAbandoned children$zFrance$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xChurch history$y17th century 615 0$aMothers and sons$xReligious aspects$xCatholic Church. 615 0$aAbandoned children$xHistory. 676 $a271/.97402 700 $aDunn$b Mary$f1976-$01713183 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825504503321 996 $aThe cruelest of all mothers$94105949 997 $aUNINA
