Opis

This volume surveys the work of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (1651-1695), the most significant literary figure of the colonial period in Spanish America. Focussing on her three religious plays, it analyses the role of early scientific ideas in her literary works.

Recenzje

Ambitious in scope ... Brooke's text is significant because her scholarship focuses on an area that has been overlooked. In this way, her research fills a gap in sorjuanista scholarship.
