by Juana Inés de la Cruz (Author)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Like other celebrated authors, however, she is a victim of her fame. Everyone has heard of her, but very few have read her works.

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.

Author Biography

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651-1695) fue la exponente novohispana más importante de México. Escribió poesía, teatro y prosa. En 1669 comenzó una vida monástica, que continuaría por el resto de su vida, lo cual le permitió dedicarse por completo al estudio y a la escritura. Ya que pertenecía a la corte de los virreyes, tuvo una serie de mecenas que le permitieron publicar sus primeras obras. Gracias a su talento, así como a las controversias que muchos de sus textos generaron en su círculo social, se volvió, junto a autores como Sigüenza y Góngora y Ruiz de Alarcón, una de las poetas más admiradas de la Colonia. Entre sus libros destacan Respuesta a sor Filotea de la Cruz, El divino Narciso, Los empeños de una casa y Amor es más laberinto. Murió a causa de una epidemia.
