Winner of the 2011 SCSC Bainton Prize for Reference WorksThe "e;canon"e; of Hispanic mysticism is expanding. No longer is our picture of this special brand of early modern devotional practice limited to a handful of venerable saints. Instead, we recognize a wide range of "e;marginal"e; figures as practitioners of mysticism, broadly defined. Neither do we limit the study of mysticism necessarily to the Christian religion, nor even to the realm of literature. Representations of mysticism are also found in the visual, plastic and musical arts. The terminology and theoretical framework of mysticism permeate early modern Hispanic cultures. Paradoxically, by taking a more inclusive approach to studying mysticism in its "e;marginal"e; manifestations, we draw mysticism-in all its complex iterations-back toward its rightful place at the center of early modern spiritual experience.Contributors: Colin Thompson, Alastair Hamilton, Christina Lee, Clara E.
