Reviews
"God Made Word considers mystical discourse in early modern Spain, examining its major genres and identifying a connection between the difficulty of articulating profound inner experience and the cultural developments of El Siglo de Oro. It is a lucid and penetrating examination of Spanish mysticism through a Foucauldian lens and represents a major piece of new scholarship."
Darcy Donahue, Professor Emerita of Spanish, Miami University:
"God Made Word is a tour de force of the transformations of mystical discourse. Dale Shuger’s scholarship is impeccable and her analysis is innovative and convincing. This book will be essential for students of early modern Spanish religious history."
