The 16th century saw the rise of movements of religious reform which in Spain as elsewhere contributed to make the history of the period such a ferment. In these essays Terence O?Reilly is concerned with the writings produced by these movements notably Illuminism the early Jesuits Erasmianism and the Carmelite reform and with the mixture of medieval and new literary conventions that they display. The book first deals with Ignatius Loyola and his Spiritual Exercises examining its origins in his experience of conversion and the books he read and locating him not in the period of the militant Counter-Reform but in an earlier world linked to the teachings of 16th Spanish Erasmians and illuminists.
