Book Synopsis


Trade Review

In his edition and translation of Angélique de Saint-Jean Arnauld d’Andilly’s writings, John J. Conley, S.J., continues his exploration of the history and thought of the women of Port Royal. Fr. Conley’s introduction perfectly contextualizes Angélique de Saint-Jean’s writings. His translation is clear and accessible. His informative notes help the modern reader understand the complexities of Jansenist thought, and navigate complicated historical episodes. This volume provides an excellent portrait of a remarkable intellectual and spiritual woman leader during one of the most fascinating chapters in seventeenth-century France.
