Additional information
The assessment piece is a selection of edited MSS, visual and printed matter with heading notes, footnotes, and an introduction setting these anti-Catholic and specifically anti-nun materials in their historical and cultural context. This section on eighteenth-century polemic is part of the six-volume English Convents in Exile 1600-1800, a project which has made available for the first time manuscript records held by the English convents abroad. The section on polemic provides a sense of some of the ways in which the figure of the nun continued to be culturally significant in Protestant Britain. The full volume is provided for context.
