Summary
"The Divine Romance is a commentary on St. Teresa of Ávila's four major prose works: Book of Her Life, Way of Perfection, Interior Castle, and Foundations. It offers a new interdisciplinary approach to Teresa's texts, proposing that the form in which Teresa's spiritual theology is presented in her writings is narrative. The introduction provides biographical data about Teresa and places Teresa and her writing in the context of her time. The book also includes a bibliographical guide to the works about Teresa that have been published in the last ten years." --book jacket, inside front flap.
