{"product_id":"sor-juana-ines-de-la-cruz-selected-works","title":"Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: Selected Works","description":"Latin America's great poet rendered into English by the world's most celebrated translator of Spanish-language literature.\nSor Juana (1651–1695) was a fiery feminist and a woman ahead of her time. Like Simone de Beauvoir, she was very much a public intellectual. Her contemporaries called her \"the Tenth Muse\" and \"the Phoenix of Mexico,\" names that continue to resonate. An illegitimate child, self-taught intellectual, and court favorite, she rose to the height of fame as a writer in Mexico City during the Spanish Golden Age.\nThis volume includes Sor Juana's best-known works: \"First Dream,\" her longest poem and the one that showcases her prodigious intellect and range, and \"Response of the Poet to the Very Eminent Sor Filotea de la Cruz,\" her epistolary feminist defense―evocative of Mary Wollstonecraft and Emily Dickinson―of a woman's right to study and to write. Thirty other works―playful ballads, extraordinary sonnets, intimate poems of love, and a selection from an allegorical play with a distinctive New World flavor―are also included.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393351882\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0393351882.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:de la Cruz, Juana Inés|Grossman, Edith|Alvarez, Julia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
