Abstract
The Catholic female religious life burgeoned in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe, including the contemplative life. There is a great deal of scholarship on this phenomenon, and the Introduction provides a survey, with particular attention to non-anglophone historiography. The inner, spiritual lives of nuns have been somewhat neglected in the literature, however, despite the centrality of spirituality in sisters’ own experience of the religious life. The Introduction explains why a spiritual history of modern contemplative women is necessary, why Dutch Discalced Carmelite sisters are a good case study for this, and the methodology that has been used for this book, and the sources – including convent chronicles, obituaries (or circulaires) and oral history. Modern Carmelite nuns defined their contemplative identity in different ways over time, shaping their spirituality to adapt to their evolving context.
