''Six Months in a Convent'' is a gothic novel written in 1835 by Rebecca Reed. ==Summary== Rebecca Reed was a young Episcopalian woman from Boston who had attended the school in 1831 as a charity scholar: a day student for whom the convent waived tuition fees. In 1832, she declared her intent to enter the Ursuline novitiate, but left the convent after six months as a postulant (originally one who makes a request or demand, hence a candidate). Reed described the convent as a prison, where young girls were forced into Roman Catholicism, with grotesque punishment for those who refused. This book, along with a growing number of propaganda magazines including the ''Christian Watchman'' and ''Boston Recorder'', stoked the fires of anti-Catholicism in Boston and the surrounding area. 〔(Barnes and Noble review )〕
