Sir Walter Scott 
The Monastery (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Set in the time of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Elizabethan period, The Monastery explores the conflict between the Catholics and Reformists, which imperils a monastery. A love affair plays out against the backdrop of the turbulent era, and a religious community rebels against the new doctrines as the Protestant Reformation takes hold.
