Assignment: Judith Brown, Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy   For this longer essay, you will read a monograph, or academic book devoted to a specialized subject. Start by carefully reading the assigned text, Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy. In it, Judith Brown studies the life of Sister Benedetta Carlini, a controversial Catholic nun who lived in late Renaissance Italy. While reading, pay especially close attention to how Brown explores the complex relationship between religion and sexuality within the context of early modern European society. Once you have finished reading, draw on both the evidence presented in Immodest Acts and supplemental information found in Chapter 11 of your course textbook to answer the following questions in an essay of approximately 1500 words:   In what ways did Sister Benedetta Carlini use religious mysticism to achieve her own personal goals, and how did she negotiate the obstacles that the Catholic Counter-Reformation presented her?   Your paper must be at least 1200 words but no more than 1800 words.   You may only use the following approved sources in your paper (please note that any use of external internet sources is prohibited): * Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy, by Judith Brown *The West in the World by Dennis Sherman and Joyce Salisbury   Important notes on this assignment: *Please refer to the rubric located on Blackboard. Review it carefully as your paper will be graded using the rubric. *Please note that you must use at least 5 examples/quotes from the assigned reading to support your argument. *Your introduction should address the overarching themes of your answer to the question. *Your thesis statement is extremely important and worth a significant portion of your overall paper grade. Make sure you take a position and have an argument. Be decisive!   A Note on Plagiarism: All papers will be run through SafeAssign, which checks for plagiarism. If you commit plagiarism, you will be caught. If you have questions, please contact me and refer to the Mercy College Academic Integrity Policy, located on the course Blackboard site.   Paper Formatting All papers should be double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman, and have 1-inch margins. You must have a title page. Please see example in this packet or on Blackboard. The best idea is to download the sample title page and type directly in it to create your own title page. You must have a header that is on every page except the title page it should have the course number and your name. Example: HIST 101/Jane Doe. Indent every paragraph and remember a paragraph is at least 3 sentences long. You must cite your sources. Paper Guidelines A) A formal history paper must have a strong introduction and clear thesis.  Your introduction must concisely and clearly explain what your paper is about.  The thesis is the stated central argument around which your paper is based.  The goal of the paper will be to convince the reader of the truth of your argument, so it is absolutely necessary that the reader knows what that argument is.    B) A historical paper must provide clear analysis of its evidence, revealing and explaining to the reader the information that proves its point(s).  Once you have decided on an argument (which will likely come to you after you have read a good deal of the book), you must then go about proving it.  You cannot merely tell the reader that what you argue is true; you must show your reader what you argue is true.  Make sure that every assertion is backed by evidence.  Leave out material that does not matter with regards to your thesis. Use judiciously selected quotes from your source(s) to show exactly why you are arguing your points. C) An essay should be logical in its organization at every level.  Make sure that sentences make sense and contribute to the overall argument of the paper.  Make sure that adjacent sentences relate to one another.  Each paragraph should focus on one idea or topic.  Like sentences, paragraphs should flow from one to the next with meaningful transitions.  The entire construction of the paper should be working in an orderly fashion to build support for your thesis.   You will need to revise your paper to make sure that it is well-organized.  Making an outline either before or after you have written it might help.  A second draft (and third) will improve your paper, make your instructor happier, and result in a better grade.    Please take advantage of the Writing Center at Mercy College and have your paper edited. You can find information about in-person writing consultations at the following website. https://www.mercy.edu/academics/academic-student-services/academic-tutoring/writing-tutoring If you are able to meet with someone in-person you are also able to schedule a virtual writing consultation at http://mercy.libcal.com/

Please give me twenty five separate “notes” for your paper. These notes could be sentences, bits of information, or even charts or images from your sources. For each note, you must include the exact source and page number where the note came from. Not all of the notes should come from the same source, but many or most can come from one source if you find that source useful. If several notes do come from the same source, you don’t have to include the full author and title information for each one, as long as that information is somewhere in your submission. For example, a few notes might look like this: “He [Hong Xiuquan] implemented many reforms, including eliminating court eunuchs, granting rights to women, eliminating opium, overhauling the tax system, ending slavery and outlawing the practice of foot-binding (a practice in which where girls’ feet were crushed over time into a wedge shape as a beauty symbol among the wealthy—but which left women crippled for life).” Shields, Steven L., “Hong Xiuquan and Joseph Smith Jr.: Prophets, Kings, and Land Reformers.” The John Whitmer Historical Association Journal, Spring/Summer 2015, Vol. 35, No. 1 (Spring/Summer 2015), pp. 153-154.

Consider the historic “ingredients” of the Renaissance and explain how and why they led to innovations associated with the Renaissance as well as some sharp differences between Southern and Northern Europe. The Renaissance did not just appear from nowhere.  While it does represent a new and distinct period in history, it is in many ways a culmination of what came before.  The word “renaissance” means rebirth, and the period known as the Renaissance was a rebirth of Greco-Roman ideas.  However, the ideas and culture of the Middle Ages, especially the Late Middle Ages, also contributed significantly to the Renaissance.  The task is: to identify and explain the historic ingredients that led to the Renaissance; to explain the “how?” and “why?” of Renaissance innovations; and, finally, to explain why there were cultural differences between Southern and Northern Europe during the Renaissance. Given the length of this paper, you must be very clear and concise – do not go off on tangents.  Focus on concepts and illustrate them with specific examples.  Most importantly, the paper must reveal your thinking – do not simply repeat what happened in history. The paper must meet the following requirements: Length: at least 9 full pages of text – you can write more, but it will not necessarily affect your grade (bibliography does NOT count toward page total, and no title page is necessary).  If you use a direct quote or paraphrase, or someone else’s analysis or ideas, it has to be cited.  Do not use quotes from books or any other sources for the narrative component of your paper – quotes are only used as evidence to back up your arguments, and even then, only when necessary (in other words, VERY sparingly).
