Edited and Translated by Kevin Donnelly and Sandra Sider
“This edition, which offers a bilingual selection of poetry and selected prose by the nun-author Cecilia del Nacimiento (1570-1646) translated into English, increases contemporary scholars’ access to, and therefore understanding of, the Spanish early modern religious and intellectual milieu. A significant, rarely-studied mystic and poet, and member of the Discalced Carmelite Order in the years after St. Teresa of Avila’s death, Cecilia del Nacimiento exemplifies the range of possibilities used by women writers who worked within the conventions of hegemonic discourses, while creating a unique literary voice.”
Stacey Schlau – Professor, Department of Languages and Culture and the Women’s Studies Program, West Chester University, Pennsylvania.
