"Convent Autobiography reveals how English Catholic women wrote about themselves, their families, and their lives in a period where it was illegal to practice Catholicism in England. These nuns went into a two-fold kind of exile for their beliefs. They moved abroad and they "died to the world", trying to cut ties with family and friends. Yet their convents needed support from outsiders to thrive. The nuns studied here reveal how they navigated this through their letters, printed works, paintings, and prayers. Often times these women wrote anonymously, a common practice for nuns, monks, and devout people of many religious persuasions up until the twentieth century. But anonymity was not just a neutral way of signalling humility or deep religious belief; it could allow people to write about themselves a lot more than they would have while writing under their own name. Exploring how some nuns exploited this to shape their convent's chronicle around their own points of view, Convent Autobiography holds up a mirror to the think about the double-edged role of anonymity throughout history."

El presente volumen analiza la autoria y autoridad literarias femeninas en el contexto del monacato hispanico, trazando un amplio panorama de la antropologia cultural, politica y religiosa de los Siglos de Oro. Presenta la creacion de diecisiete escritoras religiosas, monjas y beatas, de los siglos XVI y XVII, hasta ahora poco estudiadas o practicamente desconocidas, aportando nuevas referencias bibliograficas y material original sobre la espiritualidad de las mujeres de la Alta Edad Moderna y las primeras tradiciones literarias femeninas en el mundo iberico. Compagina la revision historiografica con la critica cultural contemporanea, restaura las tradiciones literarias de autoria femenina y analiza el significado que su pensamiento tuvo para los discursos dominantes en la historia. Al mismo tiempo, invita al lector a redefinir no tanto el lugar como el espacio de las mujeres en la tradicion, la cultura y la religion cristiana, entendiendo el espacio no ya como un mero lugar, sino como todo un sistema de relaciones.Desde una aproximacion interdisciplinaria que abarca la historia literaria y cultural, los estudios de genero y la investigacion historica, busca superar la comprension de esta creacion conventual en los margenes pautados de los binomios femenino/masculino, clausura/apertura y superioridad/subordinacion lo que la situa en una posicion de resistencia y marginalidad y cartografiar la escritura de las monjas espanolas con relacion a la existencia de redes y de un sentido positivo de comunidad.

Spain's attempt to establish a "New Spain" in Mexico never fully succeeded, for Spanish institutions and cultural practices inevitably mutated as they came in contact with indigenous American outlooks and ways of life. This original, interdisciplinary book explores how writing by and about colonial religious women participated in this transformation, as it illuminates the role that gender played in imposing the Spanish empire in Mexico. The author argues that the New World context necessitated the creation of a new kind of writing. Drawing on previously unpublished writings by and about nuns in the convents of Mexico City, she investigates such topics as the relationship between hagiography and travel narratives, male visions of the feminine that emerge from the reworking of a nun's letters to her confessor into a hagiography, the discourse surrounding a convent's trial for heresy by the Inquisition, and the reports of Spanish priests who ministered to noble Indian women. This research rounds out colonial Mexican history by revealing how tensions between Spain and its colonies played out in the local, daily lives of women.
