English Convents in Catholic Europe, c.1600-1800
In 1598, the first English convent to be founded since the dissolution of the monasteries was established in Brussels, followed by a further twenty-one foundations, which all self-identified as English institutions in Catholic Europe. This book highlights the significance of the English convents as part of, and contributors to, national and European Catholic culture. Around four thousand women entered these religious houses over the following two centuries.
Kelly situates the English Catholic experience within the wider context of the Catholic Reformation and Catholic Europe. Covering the whole exile period and making extensive use of rarely consulted archive material, James E. He thus transforms our understanding of the convents, stressing that they were not isolated but were, in fact, an integral part of the transnational Church which transcended national boundaries.
