It is based on a study of primary sources from forty female monastic communities in Lotharingia--a politically and culturally diverse region that boasted an extraordinarily high number of such institutions. Vanderputten highlights the attempts by women religious and their leaders, as well as the clerics and the laymen and -women sympathetic to their cause, to construct localized narratives of self, preserve or expand their agency as religious communities, and remain involved in shaping the attitudes and behaviors of the laity amid changing contexts and expectations on the part of the Church and secular authorities. Rather than a "dark age" in which female monasticism withered under such factors as the assertion of male religious authority, the secularization of its institutions, and the precipitous decline of their intellectual and spiritual life, Vanderputten finds that the post-Carolingian period witnessed a remarkable adaptability among these women. Through texts, objects, archaeological remains, and iconography, Dark Age Nunneries offers scholars of religion, medieval history, and gender studies new ways to understand the experience of women of faith within the Church and across society during this era." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Monastic and religious life of women $z Europe $x History $y Middle Ages, 600-1500. 650 0 $a Monasticism and religious orders for women $z Europe $x History $y Middle Ages, 600-1500. 650 0 $a Convents $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a Europe $x Church history $y 600-1500. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045634 650 7 $a Convents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00877187 650 7 $a Monastic and religious life of women $x Middle Ages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907093 650 7 $a Monasticism and religious orders for women $x Middle Ages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907097 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 650 7 $a 11.52 medieval Christianity. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077594347 $2 nbc 650 7 $a Frauenorden. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ordensleben. $2 gnd 651 7 $a Lothringen. $2 gnd 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a Church history. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411629 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411629 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Vanderputten, Steven. $t Dark age nunneries. $d Ithaca : Cornell University Press, 2018 $z 9781501715969 $w (DLC) 2017039896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214012949.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=959F857E1E3F11EAA58222FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
