description: Thought and Poetic Structure in San Juan de la Cruz’s Symbol of Night is a comprehensive appraisal of the traditional critical perspectives of philosophical, theological, literary, and psychological. Examining the a priori limitations of these approaches, the book presents an original definition of the symbol as an integral whole of experience and expression, and concludes that night is the form – the organizing principle – of spiritual life.
