The Eagle and the Dove: A Study in Contrasts St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Lisieux - Softcover
Synopsis
The two saints whose lives Vita Sackville-West contrasts in this double biography were recorded by very different 'the great' and 'the little'. Both women were Carmelites, both canonised and both shared the same name. But whilst Teresa of Avila was aristocratic, intellectual, vigorous and humorous, a Spanish woman of the sixteenth century, Thérèse of Lisieux was a guileless and sentimental figure of the French bourgeoisie. Teresa, the great mystic, is the patron saint of Spain; Thérèse, the humble nun, is probably the most beloved saint in the entire Calendar. The extraordinary rise of the cult of both women is scrutinised.
