Lettres Portugaises, Suivi De Guilleragues Par Lui Même by Gabriel de Guilleragues
Suivi De Guilleragues Par Lui Même
A series of intensely passionate epistolary outpourings from a cloistered Portuguese nun to her absent lover, tracing the arc of forbidden love from ardent devotion through jealousy, despair and spiritual torment; the letters blend prayerful supplication, erotic urgency and self-reproach in a rhetorical, baroque style that dramatizes the clash between religious vows and consuming desire, while a short authorial appendage frames the collection and invites reflection on its emotional truth and literary artifice.
