Description

"Interesting and intellectually engaging scholarly essays, some already published elsewhere, that examine Sor Juana's life, times, and works which scholars consider autobiographical, in order to identify more closely her place in colonial 17th-century Mexican society and letters. Highly recommended for scholars and students of the nun's life and works, and for anyone interested in literary genres, colonial history, or women's studies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Description

"Excellent and unique bio-literary study of Sor Juana combines rigorous but accessible analysis with marvelous reproductions of illustrations (paintings, photographs, and original printings of colonial texts) to recreate the nun's milieu for today's readers. Highly recommended to specialists and students, and of interest to general reader"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
