The Huguenot Experience of Persecution and Exile - Three Women's Stories
Published 7 May 2019
This volume provides an English translation of firsthand testimonies by three early modern French women. It illustrates the Huguenot experience of persecution and exile during the bloodiest times in the history of Protestantism: the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, the dragonnades, and the Huguenot exodus following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The selections given here feature these women's experiences of escape, the effects of religious strife on their families, and their reliance on other women amid the terrors of war.
