In this innovative and engaging work, Bruce L. Venarde uncovers a largely unknown story of women's religious lives and puts female monasticism in the mainstream of medieval ecclesiastical history. Venarde deftly interweaves narrative and statistical data to describe in broad historical context the multiplication of French and English nunneries during the central Middle Ages.
First sentence: Monasticisrn occupies a central but anomalous place in the history of the Middle Ages.
