Textos constitutivos de la Orden de las carmelitas descalzas.

En 1562 Teresa de Jesus fundo el convento de San Jose de Avila, el primero de las carmelitas y, a instancias de Francisco de Soto y Salazar, su confesor, comenzo a escribir el Libro de mi vida, influido por sus lecturas de libros de caballeria y comparado por algunos con las Confesiones de san Agustin. Aqui expone sus preocupaciones humanas y religiosas, sus trabajos y experiencias anteriores. La jerarquia eclesiastica denuncio el libro a la Inquisicion y pretendio deportar a su autora a Hispanoamerica, pero fray Luis de Leon, san Juan de la Cruz y el teologo fray Domingo Banez lograron que el castigo se redujera y fuese confinada en Toledo. Esta actividad frenetica contrasta con los textos de esta antologia, mucho mas domesticos y, en ocasiones, extremadamente personales.
