The Woman Saint in Spanish Golden Age DramaBucknell University Press, 2006 - 203 strán (strany) The Woman Saint in Spanish Golden Age Drama examines thevarious ways in which male and female dramatists present the figure ofthe ascetic woman in seventeenth-century Spanish theater.Play-wrights depict her not only as the solitary initiate of a rite ofpassage struggling to purify herself to approach spiritual perfection;they also focus on the clash between ascetic practice and the desiresof family, suitors, and patriarchal society.
