The Burdens of Sister Margaret is a portrait of a 17th-century convent drawn largely from the letters written by a group of Franciscan nuns in France who had taken a vow of silence. The correspondence primarily concerns sister Margaret Smulders, who accused a chaplain of sexually harassing her and was thought to be possessed by demons. Sister Margaret was twice expelled from the convent, and was the source of much controversy among the nuns. Craig Harline, a historian, discovered these letters in 1989 and began putting together the story of Margaret, and that of the world in which she lived. Says Harline in his Foreword, I marveled at the...noise of a convent sworn to regular periods of silence, and the diverse viewpoints revealed.
