Reviews

Charlotte Woodford's monograph is a major contribution to the emerging literature on convent writing and historical narration in the German empire. Renaissance Quarterly Woodford's meticulously researched study magnificently illuminates this unknown corpus of historical convent writing and ably delineates the nuanced approaches their authors adopted towards the past. Renaissance Quarterly Woodford's study is an invaluable guide to German convent writing. Thanks to her efforts, scholars can now compare the works of these Catholic writers with similar histories in Protestant religious communities and with the religious writing of other early modern women. Renaissance Quarterly
