It then studies in detail the incidents of the hare and the cricket cage that occur towards the end of Part II, shortly before Don Quixote’s death. It concludes that if these are interpreted in the light of their literary antecedents they acquire a symbolic value that recalls the providential world of the novels of chivalry. In the novel of Cervantes, however, their prophetic significance is not evident. In this respect the episode reflects the experience of a disenchanted world that according to Max Weber characterizes modernity.

Early struggles with her spiritual advisers gave way to an increasing confidence that she was inspired by God. As a reformer of her own Carmelite Order she founded convents all over Spain, yet still found time to write a series of spiritual classics on the life of prayer which are characterised by a robust common sense, a directness of style, and a strong and positive vision of God’s love at work in individual lives. This collection of essays by leading scholars in Teresan studies covers topics in history, art history, literature, theology, and spirituality, in a fresh assessment of her significance five hundred years after her birth.

Su tema es la virtud heroica de Portocarrero, evidente durante su estancia en Galicia, donde paso diez anos (1570–1580) como regente. El articulo analiza la oda (su tema, sus imagenes, su estructura) a la luz de su modelo clasico, el Himno a Hermias de Aristoteles. Estudia tambien la imagen de Galicia y los gallegos que se desprende de su lectura.
