“My God! Pardon me if i've got dared to make sacred issues serve a profane love; however it is you who've placed ardour into our hearts; they aren't crimes—I consider this within the purity of my intentions.” —Agatha, writing to Zoé

In pre-revolutionary Paris, a tender girl falls for a good-looking younger priest. To be close to him, she attire as a guy, enters his seminary, and is invited to turn into a completely ordained Catholic priest—a occupation forbidden to ladies then as now. Sylvain Maréchal’s epistolary novella bargains a biting rebuke to non secular associations and a hypocritical society; its perspectives on love, marriage, type, and advantage stay proper this day. The e-book leads to l. a. Nouvelle France, which turned a part of British-run Canada in the course of Maréchal’s lifetime. With thorough notes and creation by means of Sheila Delany, this primary translation of Maréchal’s novella, l. a. femme abbé, brings a little-known yet revelatory textual content to the eye of readers drawn to French historical past and literature, background of the unconventional, women’s experiences, and non secular studies.
