From 1962 to 1969,
Karen Armstrong was a nun in the Society of the Holy Child Jesus.
This was a teaching order, and once she had advanced from postulant
and novice to professed nun, she was sent to St Anne's College,
Oxford University, where she studied English. Armstrong left the
order during her course of study. After graduating, she embarked on
a Ph.D. (still at Oxford) on Alfred, Lord Tennyson. She continued to
work on it while later teaching at the University of London, but her
thesis was rejected by an external examiner. She eventually left
academia without completing her doctorate.
