Resumen
Estudia cómo cuatro escritoras enclaustradas, Teresa de Ávila, Leonor López de Córdoba, Teresa de Cartagena e Isabel de Villena, concebían la estética de la belleza teológica, «I will explore how each woman approaches the foundations of beauty in the natural order in creation and, then, I will examine the specifics of evangelical beauty, particularly Christ's beauty. I will focus on how the women consider beauty is deformed through sin and will end on how they address the beauty of Christ's atonement (p. 50)
