ABSTRACT

Authorial anonymity was common within medieval and early modern convent contexts; works concerning institutional history and even personal papers were more likely to be unattributed than attributed. However, the practice of anonymity within monastic settings was by no means universal at any point in time. This chapter establishes the identity of the first, hitherto anonymous, St Monica's chronicler who began her work in the seventeenth century, and several scribes, editors and authors who perpetuated her narrative and extended it in multiple manuscript versions into the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The twentieth century saw the chronicle edited in print, first in the Bridgettine periodical Poor Souls Friend and St Joseph's Monitor and then in a two-volume production of its own, both edited by Dom Adam Hamilton and nuns of the Priory of Our Lady, Haywards Heath.
