Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz

Amor es mas laberinto esta ambientada en el mundo clasico. Se trata de un texto erudito, reflejo de la excelente biblioteca que logro reunir su autora. Por otra parte destaca la vision del amor que ofrece sor Juana, desprovista de tapujos y sorprendente tratandose de una mujer dedicada a la vida religiosa. 'Amor es mas laberinto' ('Love is More a Labyrinth') is set in ancient times. It's an erudite text, a reflection of the vast library collected by its author. On the other hand, Sor Juana's vision of love stands out, free of veils and adornment, surprising for a woman devoted to religious life."

La Respuesta

Estos Villancicos y letras sacras comprueban, contra la extendida idea de que Sor Juana escribio poca poesia religiosa, como temas de esta naturaleza no solo no le fueron del todo ajenos, sino que, con mucho, los frecuento al correr de los anos de su madurez. Ademas de los villancicos, que con toda seguridad son suyos, en este volumen se recogen en gran cantidad otros que podrian suponerse salidos de su pluma.

Juana

Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, known as "The Tenth Muse" of America, has been widely anthologized as a poet, intellectual, and defender of women's rights. Her calling as a nun, often denigrated or overlooked, is clear in The Divine Narcissus, the finest extant example of the auto sacramental, a medieval genre similar to mystery plays. Autos presented a blend of poetry, instrumental and choral music, dance and special effects and were intended to provide theological instruction to a broad audience. The Divine Narcissus is an allegory ostensibly written to explain Christian concepts to the Aztecs whose plight under colonization it also dramatizes. It reveals a scintillating display of sacred and secular knowledge. Scholars and students will welcome this drama by America's first feminist in its original Spanish and first English translation.
