THE BURDENS OF SISTER MARGARET: PRIVATE LIVES IN A SEVENTEETH-CENTURY CONVENT

A noted historian recreates life in a seventeenth-century Belgian convent, based on recently discovered letters of the Franciscan Grey Sister of Leuven (Louvain); includes bibliographic notes and an index in 359 pages.

From Publisher:

Harline gives readers the whole of a hidden world--from all the routine aspects of life in a counter-Reformation convent (like, he writes, unpolished, more heated Flemish versions of Jane Austen) to the more exotic events that defined the life of poor Sister Margaret, who earned the other sisters' hostility by accusing a young chaplain of sexual harassment.
