Craving Credibility: Teresa De Avila’S Shifting Discourse In Meditaciones Sobre Los Cantares, Teresa Boucher
Teresa Boucher
This article explores Teresa de Avila's text from the point of view of its enunciation, proposing Benveniste's theory of personal pronouns as a means to analyse Teresa's use of pronouns as revealing shifters that indicate a fluctuating definition of "we" and a changing perspective of the "I" or "we" in relation to the other(s).

Carmen is widowed at an early age. Though in the novel there is no mention of widow's peaks, this widow speaks.
