An erudite abbess of Port-Royal, Ang???lique de Saint-Jean Arnauld d'Andilly (1624 - 1684) resisted the demands of church and state to condemn the Jansenist theological doctrines which the convent had long upheld. In her autobiographical Report on Captivity, Ang???lique de Saint-Jean recounts her personal methods of spiritual resistance as she and her fellow nuns underwent waves of persecution resulting in exile, house arrest, interdict, and excommunication.
