Footnotes

I wish to express my gratitude to Elaine Scarry for reading earlier drafts of this essay and for her thoughtful guidance in editing. I want to thank the editors and staff of HTR, the anonymous reviewer whose detailed comments significantly benefited this essay, and Luis Girón-Negrón, Ronald Thiemann and Davíd Carrasco who read this essay in a nascent stage. My gratitude also to Curtis Almquist, SSJE, and to Robert L’Espérance, SSJE, whose conversation three years ago prompted my deepening my acquaintance with St. Teresa of Avila.
