Refugee Nuns, the French Revolution, and British Literature and Culture
«
"By introducing historians to the writing of literary authors, Tonya Moutray has added a new dimension to the study of the English convents in exile, their sufferings as a result of the Revolution and their reception in England."
- Caroline Bowden, Queen Mary University of London, UK
"The strengths of Refugee Nuns, the French Revolution, and British Literature and Culture are its admirable mix of primary and secondary sources, as well as its nuanced discussion of the refugee population above and beyond their corporate identity or the negative stereotypes perpetuated by anti-Catholic sentiment."
- Orianne Smith, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD, USA, European Romantic Review
