Teresa-A Woman: A Biography of Teresa of Avila (Suny Series, Cultural Perspectives)

by Victoria Lincoln

Teresa-A Woman: A Biography of Teresa of Avila (Suny Series, Cultural Perspectives) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

She was a saint, a mystic, a reformer, a legend — and she was a complex and fascinating woman. This is the first full-scale biography of Saint Teresa of Avila from a human, nonconfessional point of view. Victoria Lincoln immersed herself thoroughly in all of St. Teresa's writings, including her extensive correspondence. She has intuitively reconstructed the inner life of this vigorous reformer of the Carmelite Order and disciplined explorer of mystical experience. The relation between St. Teresa's inner and outer life is defined with new insight and profundity.

Sexual, racial, and psychological questions, which until now have been censored or evaded, are squarely faced in the book. Teresa's Jewish ancestry is given the emphasis it deserves. This novel-like biography recreates the drama of Teresa's life.
