Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: Selected Works

Latin America's great poet rendered into English by the world's most celebrated translator of Spanish-language literature. Sor Juana (1651–1695) was a fiery feminist and a woman ahead of her time. Like Simone de Beauvoir, she was very much a public intellectual. Her contemporaries called her "the Tenth Muse" and "the Phoenix of Mexico," names that continue to resonate. An illegitimate child, self-taught intellectual, and court favorite, she rose to the height of fame as a writer in Mexico City during the Spanish Golden Age. This volume includes Sor Juana's best-known works: "First Dream," her longest poem and the one that showcases her prodigious intellect and range, and "Response of the Poet to the Very Eminent Sor Filotea de la Cruz," her epistolary feminist defense―evocative of Mary Wollstonecraft and Emily Dickinson―of a woman's right to study and to write. Thirty other works―playful ballads, extraordinary sonnets, intimate poems of love, and a selection from an allegorical play with a distinctive New World flavor―are also included.

«Pero valor, corazón: porque en tan dulce tormento, en medio de cualquier suerte no dejar de amar protesto» Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz es una de las poetas más importantes de la lengua española. Cierra con broche de oro el Barroco hispánico y es, además, una figura muy seductora: mujer, monja, sabia, defensora de la capacidad intelectual de las mujeres. Sin embargo, como todo autor célebre, sor Juana ha sido víctima de su fama: todo mundo la conoce, pero muy pocos la leen. Esta antología presenta una selección representativa de su obra, cuidadosamente puntuada y anotada, para acercarla a cualquier tipo de lector. Como novedad se incluyen, por primera vez juntas, la Carta de sor Juana a su confesor, el padre Núñez, y la Respuesta a sor Filotea de la Cruz, dirigida al obispo de Puebla, atinadamente comentadas por la editora: Martha Lilia Tenorio, especialista en poesía barroca, dedicada a recuperar buena parte del acervo lírico de Nueva España. Edición, prólogo, notas y cronología de Martha Lilia Tenorio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "But take courage, heart: because in such sweet torment, whatever my luck may be, I’ll not cease professing love." Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is one of the most important poets of the Spanish language. She gave a grand finale to the Spanish Baroque period and is also a seductive figure: woman, nun, sage, and defender of the intellectual capacity of women. However, as with any other acclaimed author, Sor Juana has become a victim of her fame: everyone knows of her, but few have ever actually read her. This anthology presents a representative selection of her work, and is carefully annotated to make it accessible to any type of reader. For the first time, this collection pairs Sor Juana’s letter to her confessor, Father Núñez, and the "Response to Sor Philotea de la Cruz", addressed to the Bishop of Puebla, precisely commentated by the editor: Martha Lilia Tenorio, specialist in Baroque poetry, dedicated to recovering the lyrical heritage of New Spain. Edition, prologue, notes, and chronology by Martha Lilia Tenorio.

Una selección de la mejor sor Juana Inés de la Cruz a cargo de Luna Miguel. Pero valor, corazón: porque en tan dulce tormento, en medio de cualquier suerte no dejar de amar protesto. &nbsp; Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz es una de las poetas más importantes de la lengua española. Cerró con broche de oro el Barroco hispánico y es, además, una figura muy seductora: mujer, monja, sabia, defensora de la capacidad intelectual de las mujeres. Sin embargo, como toda autora célebre, Sor Juana ha sido víctima de su fama: todo el mundo la conoce, pero muy pocos la leen. &nbsp; Esta selección a cargo de la también poeta Luna Miguel pone al alcance de todos los lectores la brillantez de los mejores poemas de aquella que fue perseguida por dedicarse en cuerpo y alma no a la religión, sino a la intelectualidad y la escritura. El lector actual descubrirá en estos versos la perspicacia y el desafío que su poesía imperecedera alberga. &nbsp; ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A selection of the best works of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, compiled by Luna Miguel. But take courage, heart: because in such sweet torment, whatever my fate, I will never stop professing my love. &nbsp; Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is one of the most esteemed poets in the Spanish language. Writing at the peak of the Mexican Baroque, she is a figure with immense appeal: woman, nun, scholar, and defender of the female intellect. &nbsp;Like other celebrated authors, however, she is a victim of her fame. Everyone has heard of her, but very few have read her works. &nbsp; &nbsp; This anthology, curated by fellow poet Luna Miguel, aims to give a wider audience an appreciation of this brilliant author, persecuted in her time for devoting herself body and soul more to intellectual pursuits than to her religion. Here, modern readers will discover the insights and challenges posed by Sor Juana's timeless verses.
