Obras completas de San Juan de Ávila ÍNDICE: [BIOGRÁFICAS] [AUDI, FILIA] [ESCRITOS BREVES] [PLÁTICAS] [PLATICAS ESPIRITUALES] [EPISTOLARIO ESPIRITUAL] [SERMONES]

Thought and Poetic Structure in San Juan de la Cruz's Symbol of Night is a comprehensive appraisal of the traditional critical perspectives of mysticism: philosophical, theological, literary, and psychological. Examining the a priori limitations of these approaches, the book presents an original definition of the symbol as an integral whole of experience and expression, and concludes that night is the form - the organizing principle - of spiritual life.
