The subject of my book is a Portuguese Cistercian nun, Joana de Jesus (1617–1681),whowroteanautobiographicalmysticaltext.However,themostfamousPortuguesenun is still Mariana Alcoforado (1640–1723),probably the fictional author of theLet-tresPortugaises.1Thisbook–anardentcorrespondencebetweenacloisterednunanda French aristocrat – had wide appeal in the European literary scene of its time.MadamedeSevigné,aseventeenth-centuryFrenchauthor,evenidentifiedthenoun‘Portugaise’ with a particular literary genre: the writing of passionate love letters.2TheLettres Portugaisesalso had a peculiar effect as far as Portuguese feminist the-ory was concerned. In the 1970s, just before the Carnation Revolution,Novas CartasPortuguesas(NewPortugueseLetters) appeared.In this book,three Portuguese womenwriters discuss the dictatorship, the colonial war, and the intellectual minority3–almost a certain minor age or the KantianUnmündigkeit– Portuguese women werestillexperiencing.4These‘PortugueseLetters’–botholdandnew–markedthesurgeof both a Portuguese feminine character and feminist production.Feminist scholars, however, neglected to study real seventeenth-century Por-tuguese nuns (who wrote theological‘love letters’to Christ) and their communities,despite the intellectual fame of their fictional counterparts. Joana de Jesus is oneof the still-unstudied female authors in Portugal whose theological work, albeit in manuscript form, has circulated in at least two religious convents in central andsouthern Portugal. Her work bears a philosophical witness to the mystical experi-ence, insofar as Joana tries to reflect upon the nature and configurations of her re-lation to the God-Man whilst paying attention to the Catholic renewal movementsand, more indirectly, to the social changes that Portugal experienced in the EarlyModern period.
