| Summary | "Vénus dans le cloître, ou la religieuse en chemise" by Jean Barrin is a fictional work written in the mid-18th century. The book explores themes of sexuality and religious life within a convent setting, introducing the characters Soeur Agnès and Soeur Angelique as they navigate their affections and desires amid ecclesiastical constraints. With a blend of satire and eroticism, it promises a provocative examination of the interplay between spirituality and the human condition. The opening portion of the text establishes a correspondence between the Abbé Du Prat and Madame D. L. R., reflecting on a prior meeting that inspired the writing of this work. Following this introductory letter, the narrative unfolds with Soeur Agnès expressing her discomfort at being caught in an intimate moment and Soeur Angelique encouraging more liberated expressions of affection. Their conversation reveals a blend of innocence and burgeoning desire, while Angelique hints at a more playful and subversive understanding of their religious vows. The interplay between their characters sets the tone for a story that critically examines the tension between devotion and desire, promising both humor and sensuality as the plot progresses.
