Morris is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the life and character of Catharine de Bora, the wife of the Protestant reformer Martin Luther, and provides insights into their domestic life and the context of their marriage amidst the Reformation. It not only highlights Catharine's role in Luther's life but also offers a glimpse into the broader social dynamics of that era. The opening of the text sets the scene by discussing the oppressive system of clerical celibacy that dominated the Catholic Church at the time and introduces Luther as a pivotal figure who defied this tradition. It describes Catharine de Bora's escape from a convent, supported by Luther, and the subsequent arrival of the nuns at Wittenberg after their flight. The text emphasizes Luther's compassionate nature and his efforts to help these women, revealing his progressive stance on marriage and the role of women in society during a time of significant religious upheaval. This introduction establishes the tone for a deeper exploration of their lives together, highlighting both personal stories and broader historical themes.
