Approaches to the Theory of Freedom in Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
Virginia Aspe’s erudite Approaches to the Theory of Freedom offers a new interpretation of “Primero Sueño”–probably the highest Spanish-written poem–, written by the nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz . Aspe considers the philosophical and theological influences regarding Sor Juana’s development of her concept and ideal of freedom. With vast erudition, Aspe helps advance the field of Sor Juana studies beyond what Paz was able to accomplish. She emphasises the influence of the Jesuit theology of the University of Coimbra. New perspectives and references available to the Spanish speaking world, such as the recent translation of several previously unknown Latin texts from Sor Juana’s Mexican contemporaries, provide insights that help Aspe take our understanding of the poem further and cast new lights on her idea of freedom, as well as her background and references. Approaches to the Theory of Freedom help us to become familiar with the way this magnificent poem becomes a defense of freedom. That is why this book means a significant contribution to our understanding of Sor Juana’s thought and the poetry of Sor Juana’s period.

"Rhetorical impact that pioneering and revolutionary Mexican female journalists had in shaping a new direction for women in Mexico during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century"--Provided by publisher.
The Routledge Research Companion to the Works of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
Called by her contemporaries the "Tenth Muse," Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648–1695) has continued to stir both popular and scholarly imaginations. While generations of Mexican schoolchildren have memorized her satirical verses, only since the 1970s has her writing received consistent scholarly attention., focused on complexities of female authorship in the political, religious, and intellectual context of colonial New Spain. This volume examines those areas of scholarship that illuminate her work, including her status as an iconic figure in Latin American and Baroque letters, popular culture in Mexico and the United States, and feminism. By addressing the multiple frameworks through whic...
Jesuit Polymath of Madrid
In Jesuit Polymath of Madrid D. Scott Hendrickson offers the first English-language account of the life and work of Juan Eusebio Nieremberg (1595-1658), a leading intellectual in Spain during the turbulent decades of the mid-seventeenth century. Most remembered as a prominent ascetic in the neo-Platonic tradition, Nieremberg emerges here as a writer deeply indebted to the legacy of Ignatius Loyola and his Spiritual Exercises. Hendrickson convincingly shows how Nieremberg drew from his formation in the Jesuit order at the time of its first centenary to engage the cultural and intellectual currents of the Spanish Golden Age. As an author of some seventy-five works, which represent several genres and were translated throughout Europe and abroad, Nieremberg’s literary enterprise demands attention.
Hearing Voices
Hearing Voices takes a fresh look at sound in the poetry and prose of colonial Latin American poet and nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648/51-95). A voracious autodidact, Sor Juana engaged with early modern music culture in a way that resonates deeply in her writing. Despite the privileging of harmony within Sor Juana's work, however, links between the poet's musical inheritance and subjects such as acoustics, cognition, writing, and visual art have remained unexplored. These lacunae have marginalized nonmusical aurality and contributed to the persistence of both ocularcentrism and a corresponding visual dominance in scholarship on Sor Juana--and indeed in early modern cultural production i...
Quixotic Memories
The work of Miguel de Cervantes – one of the most influential writers in early modern Europe – is a reflection of the rich culture of memory in which it was created. More than a theme, memory is a system of understanding in Cervantes’s world, resulting from the major social, religious, and economic changes that epitomized Renaissance humanist culture and that informed the transition to modernity. Quixotic Memories offers insight into the plurality and complexity of memory and demonstrates how it plays an exceptionally critical role in Cervantes’s Don Quixote. It acknowledges Cervantes’s transition into modernity as he engaged with theories of memory that were developed in classical antiquity and adapted to the specific circumstances of his own time. Julia Domínguez explores the many spaces that memory created for itself in early modern Spain, particularly in the fields of philosophy, medicine, rhetoric, mnemotechnics, the visual arts, and pedagogy. Engaging with primary and archival sources, Quixotic Memories provides a new reading of Cervantes’s famous novel by tracing the socio-historical and cultural prominence of memory throughout the author’s lifetime.
El Sueño
El Sueño es una obra magistral con resonancias provenientes desde la mente monumental de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Los sellos y emblemas que conlleva este poema articulan los parajes donde el alma alcanza a reflejarse frente a los designios de un universo etéreo e ininteligible; este transcurso ocurre mediante la absorta transición de la noche hacia el día. Como todos los sueños, éste lleva a destacar los símbolos y las imágenes bajo un numen resplandeciente como lo es el ramificado estilo barroco. Este poema es el Primero sueño de la insigne devota que escribió y dio los brillos al Ex-Convento de San Jerónimo. Recordemos que ella escribió: no me acuerdo haber escrito por mi gusto sino es un papelillo que llaman “El sueño”; por ello, hemos decidido resguardar las palabras de la jerónima; retomar la alcoba y evocar su figura de Fénix. Venir a soñar bajo esta Piramidal, funesta, de la tierra / nacida sombra para presenciar al alma gozosa mas suspensa, suspensa pero ufana. Es, en verdad, un regalo contar con este poema de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz; cruzar sus laberintos hasta el lucero del alba donde el Mundo iluminado, y yo despierta.

El arte dramático de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
El arte dramático de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz presenta un análisis de sus 33 obras representables: Comedias, Autos, Villancicos y Loas. Incluye una cronología de su Teatro que permite aclarar con nuevas luces su controvertida biografía; por ejemplo, se incluye un novedoso acercamiento de su relación con sus Arzobispos y un análisis textual de su pensamiento sobre la legitimación femenina. Interesante es el estudio de La segunda Celestina, la comedia perdida de esta autora que G. Schmidhuber descubrió y publicó en 1990, con un prólogo de Octavio Paz. El sorjuanismo debe evitar la 'deshistorización' de la biografía de sor Juana; no es posible entenderla bajo la óptica del mundo actual, su figura debe ser esclarecida dentro de su circunstancia histórica y este estudio de su teatro ayuda al respecto. Sor Juana escribió más líneas de piezas representables que de poesía, es decir, cuantitativamente fue más dramaturga que poeta.
