Provides the first substantive analysis of texts produced in English Benedictine convents between 1600 and 1800 in order to examine a major dilemma experienced by every English convent on the Continent: how could English nuns cultivate a cloistered identity when the Protestant Reformation had swept away nearly all vestiges of English monasticism?
