The History of the Nun

The History of the Nun

By Aphra Behn Fiction & Literature 01/01/2006

A remarkable work by Behn. She analyzes the retribution of breaking the vows, particularly the religious vows undertaken by nuns. The tale, claimed to be true, focuses on a nun who was lured by the charms of the world into forsaking the nunnery. Fate comes down hard upon her as she has to face the troubles and threats posed by the outside world as well.
