The present investigation pretends to do visible the importance of the monastery feminine, at the ken of the life and the culture of the women of the 16th century. This period met how the Modern Age has not enjoyed for part of the Catalan literary canon a positive consideration, since the term Decadence has comported a pejorative vision of the praxiliterary realized by the women. At this sense, the delights of the women that inhabited these cloisters evidence us that it is necessary to delete commonplaces of the life monastery feminine that are very moved away of the reality. Among the most excelled delights of these excels the reading and the sex that manifested an optics of the different reality of what pretended to impose the ecclesiastical patriarchy.

This project has as an objective the critical editing of two letters written anonymously in thematically related heptasyllabic verses, with little time difference. These two letters, Carta que ha enviada la vila de Perpinyà a Cathalunya, ahont va contant totas sas desdichas and Resposta que fa Cataluña a una carta que li ha enviada la vila de Perpiñà, ab la qual plora las desdichas pateix en recompensa de innumerables servicis, which are propagandistic poetic broadsheets dated 1641, were intended to transmit political ideas related to the Catalan Revolt (1640-1652/59). In this regard, the project attempts to contribute to the recovery of political literature from this period by editing texts that until now could only be found in two documents from the XVII century, contextualizing them in this warlike incident.
