Life of St. Teresa

by Frances Alice Forbes

The Life of St. Teresa by Frances Alice Forbes is a biography of the Spanish mystic and Carmelite nun, Teresa of Ávila. Teresa was a prominent figure in the Counter-Reformation and is considered to be a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. She was canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622 and named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI in 1970. Forbes' biography draws on Teresa's own writings, including her autobiography and her seminal work, El Castillo Interior (The Interior Castle).
