Author:
Gloria Maité Hernández offers an engaging critical review of scholarly works on Spanish mystical literature during the twentieth and early twenty-first century in Europe and the Americas. Bringing together for the first time an ample variety of sources, and letting the scholarsâ own voices be heard, this study asks how their writings were influenced by their particular notions about mysticism and Spainâs relationship with the Orient. A thematic survey like this one illustrates how ideas are created and re-created throughout time, resulting in the production of a more diverse scholarship. Readers will be enriched with a renewed sense of disciplinary awareness.
Gloria Maité Hernández (Ph.D. 2011, Emory University) is an Associate Professor of Spanish at West Chester University, USA. Hernández has published books and articles in Spanish and English, including Savoring God, Comparative Theopoetics (Oxford University Press, 2021).
