Here is the definitive edition of St. Teresa of Avila's Interior
Castle: translated by E. Allison Peers. This mystic book is as
inspirational and enlightening today as it was when it was first
written. St. Teresa lays out the foundation for an ideal journey of
faith. St. Teresa was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is
considered to be, along with Saint John of the Cross, a founder of
the Discalced Carmelites. She became the first female to be named a
Doctor of the Church, in 1970, and is one of only three females to
be awarded that honor.
Originally published in 1951, this volume gives a general survey of
the Golden Age of Spanish mysticism, following this with
translations of extracts from 15 leading authors in this field. The
selections from each author are preceded by details of editions and
studies, thereby making this not only an authoritative study on the
treasures of Spanish mysticism but also a valuable anthology and
starting point for further reading.

St. John of the Cross has been called "the most sublime of all Spanish mystics," and his spiritual masterwork, Dark Night of the Soul, stands as one of the greatest contributions to the literature of mysticism.
One of the most celebrated works on mystical theology in existence, as timely today as when St. Teresa of Avila wrote it centuries ago, this is a treasury of unforgettable maxims on self-knowledge and fulfillment.
This classic of the interior life and Christian mysticism remains
as fresh and inspiring today as it was 400 years ago. Written by a
prominent 16-century Spanish mystic and Carmelite nun, it forms a
practical guide to prayer that embraces readers with its warmth and
accessibility.
Originally published in 1940 as the first part of a two-volume
study, this book examines the Romantic Movement in Spain from its
roots in the Spanish Golden Age during the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, to the Romantic revival in the nineteenth
century and the ensuing conflict between Classicists and
Romanticists, which abated after 1837. Peers looks at key texts in
the history of the Romantic style, as well as external influences
on Spanish style in this period of literary upheaval. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of
Spanish literature or the Romantic Period.
Originally published in 1940 as the second part of a two-volume
study, this book examines the Romantic Movement in Spain from its

key texts in the history of the Romantic style, as well as the real
meaning of Romanticism in Spain at this time. This book will be of
value to anyone with an interest in the history of Spanish
literature or the Romantic Period.
