Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery of Montreal is a story of a nun who witnessed numerous crimes executed under the roof of a Canadian convent. The exposures related to the sexual exploitation of nuns, the killings of illegitimately born infants, and other nuns who opposed the monastery's rules. The narrator escapes the convent to save the life of her unborn child and, after escaping, agrees to tell about her experience in an interview that laid the basis of this book.

Book Description
The original nunsploitation novel! In the 1830s, mentally deranged Canadian Maria Monk (1816-1849) was sent to a Roman Catholic asylum for prostitutes in Montreal. When it in 1834 was discovered that she was pregnant, she was thrown out of the asylum. Maria Monk joined up with the Reverend William K. Hoyt, a fanatical anti-Catholic, and together they cooked up "Awful Disclosures." Inspired by Rebecca Reed's "Six Months in a Convent," published one year prior, Hoyt turned Monk's feverish, imaginary tales into a semi-pornographic novel about sexual abuse, violence and devilry in the nunnery nearby the asylum. "Awful Disclosures," believed to be a true story, became a phenomenal bestseller during the American Civil War.

Book Description
Rebecca Reed and Maria Monk may not be well-known authors today, but these women were publishing sensations in nineteenth-century America. Their lurid tales of life in two North American convents, one in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and the other in Montreal, Canada, sold more than one-half million copies. Reed escaped from the Ursuline convent in Charlestown in 1832. Her dramatic renditions of Roman Catholic ritual practice helped spark a night of violence that resulted in the convent being burned to the ground by an angry mob. Reed's published narrative, Six Months in a Convent, appeared just as the trials of the rioters were ending in 1835, and became an instant literary success. Monk's supporters capitalized on the lucrative market in anti-Catholic literature, by bringing out the pseudo-pornographic Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in 1836. Monk, who claimed her infant daughter had been fathered by a Catholic priest, was in fact a Montreal prostitute rather than a nun. She enjoyed the life of a literary star in New York before her hoax was uncovered. These two narratives are now available for the first time in a single paperback edition. Nancy Lusignan Schultz's introduction provides a fascinating glimpse into the history, development, and marketing of these phenomenal best-sellers. The convent tales by Reed and Monk are classics that must be read by those interested in American studies, popular culture, social and religious history, literature, and women's studies.
