Existencia de una monja: vivir el convento, sentir la Reforma (siglos XVI-XVII)
Resumen
Resumen: el presente artículo pretende acercarse a algunos de los rasgos más característicos de la existencia vital de una religiosa, cómo es su diario vivir, cómo siente las convulsiones de los acontecimientos revolucionarios religiosos que acontecen a lo largo de los primeros siglos modernos XVI-XVII y qué elementos conforman su subsistencia dentro de las paredes de un convento. Se abordarán diferentes aspectos que resultan especialmente significativos para poder entender su comportamiento y supervivencia, desde las razones de su ingreso, su forma de vida y actuación en el claustro hasta las motivaciones de por quién y hacia quién lo hacen, además del papel del confesor en su subsistencia.
