It is a little curious that the closing scene In
the convent life OF the Middle Ages should be in
directly associated with the writings OF Roswitha.
The old time literary and educational enthusiasm
died slowly in the monasteries as the universities
rose In popular esteem. Monkish orders took adj
vantage Of the new system to some extent by
having houses In the university towns. Nothing
Of this kind was thought OF for the women. In
deed the Idea was already gaining ground which
has been 80 often exploited In modern times. that
woman's share in the worlds life consisted mainly
In ignorance and good works. With the disap-
pearance OF the converts Protestant countries
left for a time in worse plight as to the
education OF women than those countries which

that the nonastic system was doomed.
In England the process Of dissolution, though
FASTENED by Government. could not have been
long delayed even by a Catholic dynasty. In Prot

without legislation. But the author Of this book

Barras professed for titles and for offices forced
