'Vogt is striving to return to the primitive rule of scholarship which stresses canonicity esthetic and humanistic values historical grounding and adherence to text. Vogt's Critical Introduction places Saint Teresa's work in the political historical and religious context of Golden Age Spain where faith permeated every aspect of life. He humanizes his subject by stressing her earthiness- for example her fondness for music and cooking-as well as her political savvy and sincere affection for her fellow nuns. Vogt explores the major literary influences on Saint Teresa's work including the chivalric novels she so loved as a girl. These along with the works of Loyola inspired her use of military images and her notion of life as a form of spiritual warfare against the World. Saint Teresa's versions a lo divino of profane love poetry evince the influence of Courtly Love on her poetic compositions in which God and the soul are sometimes depicted as lovers. Vogt does succeed in capturing the flow and tone of Saint Teresa's verse and the passion of her voice. Vogt has produced a highly readable translation of Teresa de Avila's poetry.'
