Product Description

""Five Years A Catholic: With Incidents Of Foreign Convent Life"" is a memoir written by Eliza Smith and published in 1850. The book details Smith's experiences as a Catholic convert and her time spent in various convents throughout Europe. Smith provides insight into the daily routines, religious practices, and hierarchical structures of these institutions, as well as the relationships between the nuns and their superiors. Additionally, the book includes descriptions of the physical and emotional hardships endured by the nuns, including isolation, strict discipline, and the pressure to conform to religious ideals. Smith's account also touches on the larger societal and political issues surrounding the Catholic Church during the mid-19th century. Overall, ""Five Years A Catholic"" provides a unique and personal perspective on the inner workings of Catholic convents during a time of significant change and controversy within the Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
