| Summary: | "Hillman presents a fascinating account of the role that women played during the Catholic Reformation in France. Using probate inventories from aristocratic residences and private correspondence, she reconstructs the devotional practices of a network of powerful women showing how they reconciled Catholic piety with their roles as part of an aristocratic elite. This challenges the view that the Catholic Reformation was an exclusively male concern. It will be of interest to those researching the history of early modern devotional culture, the Catholic/Counter Reformation and early modern European elites."--Back cover |
