Books by E. Allison Peers

Originally published in 1951, this volume gives a general survey of the Golden Age of Spanish mysticism, following this with translations of extracts from 15 leading authors in this field.

Originally published in 1940, this book examines the Romantic Movement in Spain from its decline and dwindling popularity after 1837, and the rise of eclecticism, to its final expressions around 1860. Peers looks at key texts in the history of the Romantic style, as well as the real meaning of Romanticism in Spain at this time.

This classic of the interior life and Christian mysticism by the sainted 16th-century Spanish mystic and Carmelite nun focuses on the practice of prayer. Modern readers will appreciate its warmth and accessibility.
