Poesía lírica

Synopsis of Poesía lírica

«Poesía lírica» is the poetry anthology by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is the central figure of the lyric poetry of the late Hispanic Baroque. She defended women's right to study against those who persecuted her for it; her vocation was intellectual, not religious. Sor Juana's poetry combines the culterano brilliance of the Gongorine heritage with the conceptist wit of Quevedo and Calderón.

Edition, introductory study and notes by José Carlos González Boixo. Belongs to Cátedra's Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 351); sixth edition.

For readers of classical poetry and Hispanic American literature, as well as for those who wish to approach one of the voices that vindicated female knowledge in the Baroque.
