No Customer Reviews

Offering a comprehensive analysis of newly-uncovered manuscripts from two English convents near Antwerp, this study gives unprecedented insight into the role of the senses in enclosed religious communities during the period 1600-1800. It draws on a range of previously unpublished writings - chronicles, confessions, letters, poetry, personal testimony of various kinds - to explore and challenge assumptions about sensory origins.
