The Castle & The Keep : A Gender Study of the Lives and Written Works of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross

Description

An examination of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, applying modern theories of gender and sexuality to the textual analysis of a selection of primary written works and biographical works, in order to determine the roles that they play, not only in the case of these two saints of the Catholic Church, but also within the mystical tradition as a whole.
