Zusammenfassung:This text examines how Catholic reformers envisioned and implemented changes to monastic life in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century France. Scholars of France's Catholic Reformation have tended to focus on the movement's later stages and, taking a top-down approach, view it from the perspective of activist clerics seeking to impose a fixed idea of religious life.
