A Wild Country Out in the Garden: The Spiritual Journals of a Colonial Mexican Nun

A Wild Country Out in the Garden: The Spiritual Journals of a Colonial Mexican Nun

Maria
0/5 ( ratings)
Madre Maria de San Jose --mystic, chronicler, and co-founder of an Augustinian convent--inscribed her life story within the model of spiritual autobiography set by St. Augustine and Teresa of Avila, but at the same time included her individual story as a seventeenth-century woman of the landowning classes in New Spain. The resulting manuscript records in intimate detail her family life, convent surroundings, and social milieu; it introduces us to a combative and engaging person and gives us a rare and vivid glimpse of a complex society.
