The lives and experiences of Irish women religious highlight how an
expanding nexus of female houses perpetuated European
Counter-Reformation devotion in Ireland. This book investigates the
impact of the dissolution of the monasteries on women religious and
examines their survival in the following decades, showing how,
despite the state's official proscription of vocation living,
religious vocation options for women continued in less formal ways.
McShane explores the experiences of Irish women who travelled to
the Continent in pursuit of formal religious vocational formation,
covering both those accommodated in English and European
continental convents' and those in the Irish convents established
in Spanish Flanders and the Iberian Peninsula. Further, this book
discusses the revival of religious establishments for women in
Ireland from 1629 and outlines the links between these new convents
and the Irish foundations abroad. Overall, this study provides a
rich picture of Irish women religious during a period of
unprecedented change and upheaval.
