Excerpt from The Life and Letters of St. Teresa, Vol. 1 The design of the biography of St. Teresa which is now submitted to the reader, is the same as that of the Life and Letters of St. Francis Xavier, which has now been for several years before the public. There are certain of the saints of God of whom that is pre-eminently true, which is true in a certain measure of all those whose lives and characters are such as to present interesting subjects to the student - that is, that they are but imperfectly understood unless their own letters, as well as their more formal works, are largely used by their biographers. The great typical instance of such a Saint is St. Paul himself. Nothing but a deep and familiar acquaintance with his Epistles can qualify any writer to give a fair and full account of his mind and character. It is the same with a number of other saints, of whose letters we happily possess large numbers. But the kind of biography which may thus be produced is as yet wanting in the case of most of these saints, and its composition involves great labour and requires singular judgment.

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of St. Teresa, Vol. 3 Few words are needed to introduce the present volume, the last of a work which has cost more labour than appears on the surface, carried on through a number of years during which the writer has always had other matters of importance to occupy his time. The work, however, is now complete, as far as it is within his power to make it so, and if it reveals the character of St. Teresa to others as it has revealed it to her biographer, it will abundantly repay the labour that it has cost In a work begun several years ago, and carried on in the manner in which alone it has been possible to accomplish this, there will of necessity be found many small inaccuracies and mistakes which, it may be hoped, will be thought venial.

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of St. Teresa, Vol. 2 The long delay which has ensued between the publication of this volume and that of its predecessor, has not been owing to any abandonment of the design of the complete work, but mainly to an attempt to make the translation of the Letters of St. Teresa as perfect as possible, and to arrange them in such a manner as not to interfere too much with the onward progress of the narrative of her Life. But, after all, they cannot be used for this purpose as much as could be wished, and it has been found impossible to persevere with the original design of publishing all the letters in English. Such a plan would have involved the extension of the work to four or five volumes. It is with much regret that the design has been given up, and the plan followed in the present volume adopted in its place.

St. Teresa of Avila, one of the most interesting and important figures in the history of the Catholic Church, was also one of the most candid, entertaining, and brilliant correspondents of her century. This selection of letters offers a unique “behind the scenes” look at this most charming Doctor of the Church with details of her life not originally meant for the public. St. Teresa’s formal works—The Interior Castle and The Way of Perfection—were written with an eye toward censors. Her personal correspondence, however, tell the story of her life in vivid detail, including her struggles to reform the Carmelite order; Spanish mysticism in its formation; and the extraordinary range of relationships she maintained with priests, theologians, royalty, fellow religious, advisors, and friends. The letters begin when St. Teresa was forty-six—six years after she entered the Carmelite Monastery of the Incarnation in Avila, Spain—and continue until her death twenty-one years later. She exhibits worries, troubles, sadness, joy, triumphs, and questions throughout. Recipients of these letters, and the people discussed in them, include some of the famous and fascinating figures of late sixteenth-century Catholic Europe: St. John of the Cross; María Enríquez de Toledo y Guzmán, the Duchess of Alba; St. Peter Alcantara; St. John of Avila; Ana de Mendoza, the Princess of Eboli; and Jerónimo Gracián de la Madre de Dios. The story these letters tell is one of enduring importance to the history of the Church. From nascent beginnings to more detailed plans, it is possible throughout St. Teresa of Avila: Her Life in Letters to witness the birth of Spanish mysticism, the reform of the Carmelite Order, and the experiences of contemplative prayer and meditation that resulted in The Interior Castle.

Contains Letters from 1578 to 1582 Includes Biographical Sketches, Sources for the Biographical Sketches and Index. More Information This second and final volume of St. Teresa's correspondence begins with the year 1578, a most troubling time for Teresa. A keen observer of the reality around her as well as within, Teresa in these letters focuses light on many of the struggles in both the Carmelite order and the church of sixteenth-century Spain. She introduces us to major personalities who have left their mark on history. Through her letters historians gain a better knowledge of the chronology of events in Teresa's life and how she related to the diverse people she had dealings with. A number of everyday particulars that compilers and editors of those times considered unimportant are today prized. Her worries, her troubles and triumphs, her expressions of sadness and joy, are all present here. With a compelling spontaneity, these letters disclose a Teresa in a complex variety of circumstances. The extraordinary gifts of grace bestowed by God on this Spanish Madre fortified her for a demanding ministry of service which entailed heavy responsibilities and that drew her contemplative soul into a whirl of activities. Because of the limited means of travel and communication in the sixteenth century, the organization of a reform like hers, with its unavoidable business matters, had to be dealt with chiefly through correspondence, a chafing duty that became one of Teresa's greatest trials. She often repeated that letter-writing was her biggest burden, a wearisome task that cost her more than all the miserable roads and bad weather experienced on her journeys through Spain. With its endnotes, biographical sketches, and above all, fresh translation, this second volume of Teresa's Collected Letters opens again another door into the fascinating world of this saint, one of the greatest women history has known.

This third volume concludes the magnificent biography of St. Teresa of Ávila by Henry Coleridge. The reader will probably agree that her Letters become almost more interesting as the story of St. Teresa's Life proceeds to its close, and that certain of her most attractive characteristics become more and more prominent. There are many good Lives of the Saint, but even in the best of them the materials contained in the Letters have not been fully used. Indeed, these seem often to light up parts of her life and character to an unexpected degree. No apology, therefore, need be made for the present work, which is now committed to the English reader in the hope that it will conduce somewhat to the glory of God and the honour of His Saint.

The design of the biography of St. Teresa which is now submitted to the reader, is the same as that of the Life and Letters of St. Francis Xavier, which has now been for several years before the public. There are certain of the saints of God of whomthat is pre-eminently true, which is true in a certain measure of all those whose lives and characters are such as to present interesting subjects to the student -- that is, that they are but imperfectly understood unless their own letters, as well as their more formal works, are largely used by their biographers. The present volume brings that narrative on to the time when St. Teresa was first interrupted in her series of foundations, by the command of her Superiors, who assigned to her, against her own will, as well as against the will of the nuns of her first Convent of the Incarnation, the arduous post of Prioress in that large but rather disordered community. She was then fifty-seven, and might have hoped, after her three years of office were over, to be allowed to spend the remainder of her days in peace and retirement according to her vocation. But the storms which were to disturb so great a part of the rest of her life were already in the air, though it happens that this stay of hers in the old convent marks a period at which a break in the narrative may very well be made. My object will have been gained if I should have succeeded in enlarging to any extent the knowledge of St. Teresa among English readers. Like other portions of the Catholic Church, we have long been fed upon the " heavenly doctrine" of which it has been the will of God tomake her writing the channel.

This second volume continues Coleridge's definitive biography of St. Teresa of Ávila and progress of the narrative of her Life. All the letters are here mentioned, and an account, more or less detailed, is given of all that seem to have any importance, whether as contributing something to the illustration of the history, or as throwing light on the very beautiful and most interesting character of St. Teresa. The charm of St. Teresa's character increases upon us as we proceed to a better acquaintance with her, and is hoped that the publication of these volumes may help to make her and the glorious Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel better known.
