RESUMO

This research focuses on the poetic work of Teresa of Ávila, Spanish writer and poet who lived in the sixteenth century and became known as the founder of the Order of Discalced Carmelites. The corpus chosen for analysis is composed of the following poems: Mi Amado es para mí, Traspasada and Buscate en mí, taken from the collection of her poetry published in Complete Works (1974) to be analyzed in the light of Mysticism and Eroticism also considering the traces of female authorship present in those texts. The reading of her selected poetry demonstrates that there is in them a strong presence of elements of the Western Christian Mysticism of the Middle Ages, as well as the speech marks of female authorship and related mystical eroticism through aesthetic choices that anticipate the Baroque characteristics. For that determination, the theoretical support was sought mainly in the following works: El fenómeno místico: estudio comparado (2009), written by Juan Martin Velasco, The Eroticism (2004) by Georges Bataille, Mystical Theology: The Science of love (1996) by William Johnston, Estudos sobre o Barroco (2002) by Helmut Hatzfeld, as well as several studies on female authorship in the mystical writings of the Middle Ages with the objective of identifying common elements in the poems analyzed.
