About this event
| How to conduct business, give spiritual advice, and send off a scheming duke while living in enclosure? The 1,800 letters by the Benedictine nuns of Kloster Lüne, written and copied between mid-15th and mid-16th century, give a vivid insight into all aspects of monastic life. The talk will be illustrated by images from the still active North German convents and their astonishing medieval art. More information on the research behind the talk is available via https://www.seh.ox.ac.uk/blog/voices-from-the-past
