Funded Activity Summary

Cistercian Nuns in England c.1150-1550AD: A Gendered History of a Monastic Institution. This project re-writes the history not just of the previously ignored medieval Cistercian nun but of the medieval Cistercian monastic institution more broadly. Using English Cistercian women as case studies, it will produce two major breakthroughs. First, it will demonstrate that the history of the Cistercian religious order looks very different when analysed with issues of gender to the fore. Second, it will reconfigure our understanding of this classic monastic institution according to the principles of centre-periphery relations. Both outcomes produce new strategies for creating histories of marginalised groups that are not premised on the histories of the dominant groups.
