ANNE CLARK BARTLETT, DePAUL UNIVERSITY \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Teresa de Cartagena was born in Burgos in about 1415-20, into a powerful family of Jewish origin. All we know of Teresa comes from her work: she was deaf and not physically strong, she was a nun, and - perhaps the source of her resilience -she was well-educated, above all in religion and moral philosophy. Deaf from early womanhood, her consolatory treatise Grove of the Infirm is a reflection on the spiritual benefits of illness; her second work, Wonder at the Works of God, was apparently written to counter the contention of her critics that a handicapped woman had nothing of value to say. This artful manipulation of the familiar devotional genre of \"the treatise of consolation\" reveals a woman writer intimately familiar with the cultural practices of her era; overall, both works allow a rare glimpse into the world of women in fifteenth-century Spain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e DAYLE SEIDENSPINNER-NUNEZ is Professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Notre Dame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dayle Seidenspinner-Nunez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0859914461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780859914468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.35d","brand":"Dayle Seidenspinner-Nunez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069412929791,"sku":"9780859914468","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35240df7-59ba-446b-8d8c-d55bb24c78a7.jpg?v=1685424572","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-writings-of-teresa-de-dayle-seidenspinner-nunez-9780859914468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
