Veil of Fear: Nineteenth-Century Convent Tales

Rebecca Reed and Maria Monk may not be well-known authors today, but these former nuns were publishing sensations in ninteenth-century America. Their lurid tales of life in two North American convents, one in Charlestown, Massachusetts and the other in Montreal, Canada, sold more than a half million copies. Reed escaped from an Ursiline convent in Charlestown in 1832. Her dramatic renditions of Roman Catholic ritual practice helped spark a night of violence that resulted in the convent being burned to the ground by an angry mob. Reeds published narrative, Six Months in a Convent, appeared just as the trials of the rioters were ending in 1835, and became an instant literary success. Monks supporters capitalized on the lucrative market in anti-Catholic literature, bringing out the pseudo-pornographic Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in 1836. Monk, who was in fact a Montreal prostitute rather than a nun, enjoyed the life of a literary star in New York before her hoax was uncovered. These two narratives are now available for the first time in a single paperback edition. Nancy Lusignan Schultzs introduction provides a fascinating glimpse into the history, development, and marketing of these phenomenal best-sellers. These convent tales by Reed and Monk are classics that must be read by those interested in American studies, popular culture, social and religious history, literature, and womens studies.
