EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant historical document titled "A Defence of Nunneries" by Theresa Arundell, dating back to 1851. This printed paper is an essential piece from the 19th century English School and is part of a private collection. The image showcases a letter published in The Times newspaper, written by Theresa Stourton, wife of Henry Benedict, 11th Baron Arundell of Wardour. In this letter, dated May 3rd, 1851, Theresa Stourton passionately defends nunneries against derogatory allegations made in the House of Commons during the debate on the anti-Catholic Ecclesiastical Titles Act. At that time, there was widespread prejudice and discrimination against Catholics in England. This document sheds light on the struggle faced by Catholic communities and their faith during this period. It highlights themes such as religious history, recusant history (referring to those who refused to attend Anglican services), Catholic emancipation (the process through which Catholics gained equal rights), and Roman Catholicism. The print serves as a reminder of how individuals like Theresa Stourton fought for their beliefs amidst societal challenges. It also emphasizes the importance of preserving historical records that provide insight into our past struggles and triumphs regarding religion and freedom.
