Taken as a whole, they paint a detailed picture of religious Orders and Congregations which, phoenix-like, managed to rebuild themselves from the ashes of their near destruction; these stories of economic and social success are all the more edifying since they emerge from a context of heightened state anticlericalism and legal impediments.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaurence Lux-Sterritt, Aix-Marseille Université, Recusant History 32, 1 (May 2014)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDe grande qualité et soigneusement édité, l'ouvrage sous recension porte à la connaissance du public le produit de recherches récentes et novatrices.
