Books by/about Bl Elisabeth of the Trinity

A few days ago, one of the readers asked about what books were available by or about Bl Elisabeth of the Trinity. Personal note: I usually spell her name in French (with an "s") to distinguish her from other Elizabeths such as St Elizabeth Ann Seton, St Elizabeth of Hungary, etc.

There are a number of books available in English, some of them are unfortunately out of print in the USA. This list doesn't include books where Bl Elisabeth is a "secondary" theme, such as general books of saints, etc. There's only one book I'm not familiar with listed here, the new biography with excerpts by Sr Marian Teresa. I've included it since, from what I gathered online, it seems like a good book. In case you're wondering, I'm a hopeless, incorrigible bookworm.

The underlined titles are what I personally consider the best of the best. If you have never read anything about Bl Elisabeth and would like to get started, I suggest you begin with Reminiscences (in the biography section) or volume 2 of the collected works (her letters).

If you read other languages, particularly French and Spanish, I'm able to provide even more titles, including some treasures that have not been translated into English (yet?). If there're any questions or comments, feel free to post a comment or e-mail me.

Enjoy your reading!

There may be other books available. A good place to start searching would be Open Library. If anyone reading this blog knows of others, please let me know. There's much published in other languages, but my understanding is that availability is limited in English. Still, her complete works are theoretically still available. I'll see about posting from her works in the coming future.

Cheers!
