The book examines the use of mystical imagery in the literary works of the 16th-century Spanish writers and mystics, Santa Teresa de Jesus and San Juan de la Cruz. In addition to the variety of sources on which they draw and the influence they exercise on later generations, what emerges in the study is a multivalent use of diverse images that is the mystics' means of grappling with the ineffable nature of mystical union."

La mística, que refleja la más profunda unión con lo divino, acude a las formas de la lírica amorosa para expresar lo inefable. San Juan es por ello uno de los mejores poetas de amor de todos los tiempos. En Cántico espiritual, el apasionado diálogo entre el alma y su esposo nos recuerda al Cantar de los Cantares, de la Biblia. La noche oscura del alma plasma, por el contrario, una absoluta desolación. La poesía de Teresa de Jesús es más autobiográfica: describe sus propios éxtasis y experiencias religiosas.
