Reviews
"Luisa de Carvajal's writings offer compelling accounts of the persecution of English recusants and insights into the political and diplomatic background to the pax hispanica. Her religious poetry and autobiographical writings, at once disturbing and powerful, vividly document a particular strand of women's penitential piety. Without pathologizing Carvajal, Anne Cruz's masterful introduction provides the essential literary and historical context for approaching this controversial would-be martyr."
