224pp., introduction, publisher's note. A reprint of what was probably the first American bestseller. "The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk" purports to be the true experiences of a young woman confined in the Hotel Dieu Nunnery, Montreal, in the early 1830s, but was in fact a combination of Gothic horror and virulently anti-Catholic propaganda: From the back cover: "Exposing the sinful secrets of life in a convent and how innocent young girls are introduced into a life of depravity and lust.."
