Author(s)
Woodford, Charlotte
Woodford, Charlotte
This is the first study to highlight the significance of nuns' writings in early modern Germany. Combining scholarly analysis with illuminating case studies—such as an abbess's account of the Reformation, a prioress's diary from the Thirty Years' War, and a biography of a fifteenth-century visionary—Charlotte Woodford introduces the much neglected female historians of the era, and sets their writings in an historical and literary context.
