Sor Juana | Early 17th Century Proto-Feminist Poetry?

from The Literature Humanities Radio Hour on WKCR 89.9FM: Literary Classics in Conversation · host thomaspreston

Thomas, Katrina & Tamara discuss the poetry of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a 17th Century Mexican literary figure who swore off the life of the court (and the requirements to marry) in order to preserve her intellectual independence, writing instead from her cloister. Alongside her poetic verses, they discuss in particular Sor Juana's First Dream, a strange abstract journey into the body towards the soul, and follow it on its strange hovering movements.
