Writing Teresa: The Saint from Avila at the fin-de-siglo examines
the Teresa de Jesus "boom" of roughly 1880-1930 and offers an
in-depth study of five major Spanish participants in the
turn-of-the-twentieth-century explosion of literary treatments of
St. Teresa. This historical period's interest in the Saint from
Avila relates to popularization and nationalization of aspects of
Catholicism, technological advances, a modernist fascination with
saintly heroes, the search for new Spanish identities, and the
evolving role of women writers and intellectuals. Teresa was
mysticism in its historical context, energy in a time of doubt, the
possibility of reconciling science and spirituality, a new vision
for writing, and a maternal figure linked to the religion of the
past for those who had lost the faith of their childhood.
