A keen observer of the reality around her as well as within, Teresa in these letters focuses light on many of the struggles in both the Carmelite order and the church of sixteenth-century Spain. Through her letters historians gain a better knowledge of the chronology of events in Teresa’s life and how she related to the diverse people she had dealings with. Paper.
