Humanism and Religion in Early Modern Spain John of the Cross, Francisco de Aldana, Luis de León

'It is not uncommon for a book to be promoted as "essential reading". That is what the publisher Routledge does in its description of Humanism and Religion. Having studied the book, I consider the encomium to be, in the present case, valid. Terence O'Reilly, Emeritus Professor of Spanish at University College Cork and member of the Royal Irish Academy, provides scholars and students of sixteenth century Spanish spirituality and literature, with insights and understandings which are necessary for a more complete correct appreciation of the authors treated' - Iain Matthew OCD, Teresianum (2023/1).
