Bibliography on Teresa de Cartagena has increased in number during the last few years. Frequently considered a mystic, contemporary scholarship has determined the impossibility to use this paradigm to give full credit and proper interpretation to her works. Indeed, rather than a mystical writer, Teresa appears to be concerned with intellectual, political, and even public issues, even if the arise from questions of self-care and self-healing through meditation, reading, and other intellectual and even scholarly activities. Likewise, in the last few years, we have come to know more details about Teresa's life than we knew before the beginning of this century.
