- Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk of the Hotel Dieu Convent of Montreal - the Secrets of the Black Nunnery Revealed

New Edition. Paperback. 287p. A softcover book in acceptable condition. Edges worn and chipped; spine and covers creased. Rear cover is loose and the pages are tanned. Text clean. Undated; circa 1920s. Canadian ex-nun Maria Monk's memoir about sexual immorality and infanticide in Catholic convents is considered by scholars to be an anti-Catholic fabrication. Her story was first published just two years after the Ursuline Convent Riots, the peak event of the mid-1800s anti-Catholic fervor in North America; ex-convent narratives were a popular genre at the time.
