Abstract

As an expression of the admirable, Teresa de Jesús’ Libro de la vida (Book ofLife) goes much further than saint Augustin’s Confessions, by closely knittingthe praise “ad maiorem Dei gloriam” with her personal mystic experiences.She turned the hymnic Renaissance rebirth of the Psalms and theSong of the Songs into an introspective analysis, full of doubts and questionsinduced by human misery. Besides, she resorted to an unusual affectiverhetoric in order to warrant the truth of the unspeakable among readers,thus opening the way to modern autobiography.
