Résumé

This essay attempts to offer a comparative viewpoint of biographies of Teresa of Avila vis à vis the one written by the Irish writer Kate O’Brien.
After examining some biographical productions on the Spanish poet, we show that a resistance to the monolithic male discourse marks O’Brien’s biography of Teresa of Avila. Whereas other Teresa’s biographers produce their texts with a certain degree of formality, according to the data they collect, O’Brien crosses the frontiers of conventional models, subverting the paradigms.
