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. Around
four thousand women entered these religious houses over the
following two centuries. This book highlights the significance of
the English convents as part of, and contributors to, national and
European Catholic culture. Covering the whole exile period and
making extensive use of rarely consulted archive material, James E.
Kelly situates the English Catholic experience within the wider
context of the Catholic Reformation and Catholic Europe. 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. The
original and immersive structure takes the reader through the
experience of being a nun, from entry into the convent, to
day-to-day life in enclosure, how the enterprise was funded, as
well as their wider place within the Catholic world.
