This volume studies concrete examples of how female monastic spirituality acquires allegorical-symbolic connotations when representing itself, the world or life in the monasteries of the Hispanic area. Biographies, autobiographies, poems, iconographic and theatrical representations paint a symbolic picture of virtues and sins, of exemplary conduct and expiatory experiences.
