Nuns as Historians in Early Modern Germany - Charlotte (Fellow and College Lecturer Woodford - Bog

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 15th-century visionary - Charlotte Woodford introduces the much neglected female historians of the era, and sets their writings in an historical and literary context.
