Abstract

This article examines Bernarda Ferreira de Lacerda’s Soledades de Buçaco (1634), an assemblage of narratives in verse on the male Carmelite convent of Santa Cruz do Buçaco. It seeks to understand the ways in which this Portuguese author appropriates aspects of the religiosity and philosophical ideas in the modern Iberian world. The work is also analyzed in relation to sixteenth and seventeenth-centuries written culture, especially with regard to women’s writing, and their institutional and social contexts. The article suggests, even if briefly, the purposes and links that lie behind the making and publishing of the book, as well as how it promotes the Carmelites cult and power.
