- Description
- The essays in this volume investigate the lives of six Habsburg women who, as queens-consort, queens-regent, a vicereine, and a nun, left an indelible mark on the diplomatic and cultural map of early modern Europe. Contributors examine the national and transnational impact of these notable women through their biographies, and explore how they transferred their cultural, religious, and political traditions as the women moved from one court to another. Early Modern Habsburg Women investigates the complex lives of Philip II's daughter, the Infanta Catalina Micaela (1567-1597): her daughter, Margherita of Savoy, Vicereine of Portugal (1589-1655): and Maria Maddalena of Austria, Grand Duchess of Florence (1589-1631). The second generation of Habsburg women that the volume addresses includes Philip IV's first wife, Isabel of Borbon (1602-1644), who became a Habsburg by marriage: Rudolph II's daughter, Sor Ana Dorotea (1611-1694), the only Habsburg nun in the collection: and Philip IV's second wife, Mariana of Austria (1634-1696), queen-regent and mother to the last Spanish Habsburg.

- Description
- This book is a study of convent theatre in Italy, an all-female tradition. Widespread in the early modern period, but virtually forgotten today, this activity produced a number of women dramatists and works of unusual merit. Convent authors, actresses and audiences, especially in Tuscan houses, the plays written and produced, and what these reveal about the lives of convent women are the focus of this book.

- Description
- .Some nuns in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italy strayed far from the paradigms of monastic life. Cloistered in convents, subjected to stifling hierarchy, repressed, and occasionally persecuted by their male superiors, these women circumvented authority in sometimes extraordinary ways. But tales of their transgressions have long been buried in the Vatican Secret Archive. In this book forgotten tales are restored to life. Here we meet nuns who dared speak out about physical assault and sexual impropriety (some real, some imagined). Others were only guilty of misjudgment or defacing valuable artwork that offended their sensibilities. But what unites the women and their stories is the challenges they faced: these were women trying to find their way within the Catholicism of their day and through the strict limits it imposed on them. Monson introduces us to women who were occasionally desperate to flee cloistered life, as when an entire community conspired to torch their convent and be set free. But more often, he shows us nuns just trying to live their lives. When they were crossed—by powerful priests who claimed to know what was best for them—bad behavior could escalate from mere troublemaking to open confrontation.

- Description
- From 1535 to 1635, a century spanning the Catholic Reformation and Counter-reformation, the convent of Sao Paulo in Spanish Milan evolved from a radical evangelical experiment to a demure, strictly closed convent. Why this abrupt clausura? And how did the nuns respond to their sudden isolation?
