Poesia e santidade : alguns contributos para uma percepção do conceito de santidade, a partir de duas biografias devotas de religiosas do séc. XVIII português

Abstract

Starting from the analysis of the devote biographies of two 18th century nuns which include  their  production,  the author  explains  such unusual  binding  of the poetic work in the biographic genre and shows how these two narratives propose a clear articulation  between poetry and holiness. It is suggeste that the selective perception of the saintly signs at such times was also operated from the perspective of a particular poetic topic.
