By Mary E. Lowndes and Mary Elizabeth Lowndes

Book Overview

The Nuns of Port Royal is a book written by Mary E. Lowndes and published in 1909. The book is a collection of narratives written by nuns who lived in the convent of Port Royal in the 17th century. The nuns were part of the Jansenist movement, which emphasized the need for personal holiness and strict adherence to Catholic doctrine. The book provides an intimate and detailed look into the lives of these nuns, their beliefs, and their struggles. The narratives are written in a simple and direct style, and they offer a unique perspective on the religious and social history of France during the 17th century.
