Abstract

This paper examines the rhetorical relationship between the poem «The Dark Night of the Soul», by John of the Cross, and the late alumbrados denounced by the Inquisition in Seville in 1623, by considering the history of these groups and the relationship of the text of St. John with the theologies and religious practices of Modernity. The proposed analysis of cultural rhetoric aims to overcome theological controversies in order to raise new questions about the communicative-cultural background of these groups, as an axis for literary analysis. In this way, it is possible to help clarifying not only the structures of the alumbrados but also the reception and discursive form of the poetic work, which is analysed together with inquisitorial documents and available historical information.
