Nuns' Chronicles and Convent Culture in Renaissance and Counter-Reformation Italy - Lowe, K. J. P. (Goldsmiths, University of London)

This well-illustrated and innovative book analyses convent culture in sixteenth-century Italy through the medium of three unpublished nuns' chronicles, using a comparative methodology of 'connected differences' to examine their intellectual and imaginative achievement, and to investigate how they fashioned and preserved individual and convent identities by writing chronicles.
