Download or read book Sor Juana In s de la Cruz CWS written by Juana Inés de la Cruz (sor) and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest in Mexican Hieronimite nun, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz (1648-1695) is reaching extraordinary new levels. She has been the subject of plays, a feature film, scholarly conferences, books and articles. Nobel Laureate, poet Octavio Paz, has called her one of the great poets of the Spanish language and considers her Response to Sor Philotea de la Cruz to be the first intellectual autobiography in the Hispanic world. At her death in 1695, Sor Juana was an internationally-known poet, dramatist and religious writer. Today, she is still considered an exceptional lyric poet and one of the great writers of Spain's siglo de oro, its Golden Age of drama. Included here are: religious songs and devotional poetry; Sor Juana's sacramental drama and preface play, Divine Narcissus; two devotional works (first English translation), Devotional Exercises for the Feast of the Incarnation and Offerings for the Sorrows of Our Lady; a theological disputation, Critique of a Sermon/Athenagoric Letter and her autobiographical Response to Sor Philotea de la Cruz. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz: Selected Religious Works in the Classics of Western Spirituality Series is essential reading for those interested in great literary figures, religious studies and women's history.

Download or read book Lesbos Narcissus and Paulos written by Hal Brunson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homosexuality and the Greek New Testament: What Does the Bible Really Teach? is perhaps the most exhaustive and thorough analysis of homosexuality ever written from the perspective of the New Testament. This work examines every New Testament text through exhaustive theological and linguistic analysis, leaving no scripture untouched, no stone unturned about homosexuality in the New Testament. Dr. Brunson's book explores homosexuality as a Divine abandonment, focusing especially upon St. Paul's description of homosexuality in Romans 1. Although primarily focused upon the Greek text of the New Testament, the book also examines every text dealing with homosexuality in the Septuagint as well; however, the book has been written to be easily accessible to the average reader, footnoting the technical aspects of Greek for appropriate scholarly consideration. The book is available immediately through any bookstore.

Download or read book The Three Secular Plays of Sor Juana In s de la Cruz written by Guillermo Schmidhuber and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) wrote poetry, prose, and plays and is considered the greatest of Mexican women writers. She was an intellectual prodigy, reportedly mastering Latin in twenty lessons, and at sixteen she entered a convent so that she might continue her learning. One of the most influential early feminists in the New World, she answered a bishop's criticism in a letter that has become a classic defense of the education of women. She collected a private library of 4,000 volumes, but when she was told that her studies were delaying the progress of her spiritual education, she gave away her books and devoted herself to religious studies. Traditionally, scholars have attributed only one complete play to Sor Juana, but in 1989 Guillermo Schmidhuber discovered a lost play, The Second Celestina, which he proved conclusively to be Sor Juana's earliest comedia, co-authored with Agustin Salazar y Torres. Schmidhuber's critical study is the first dedicated exclusively to the secular plays and the first to confirm Sor Juana's authorship of three dramatic pieces. Combining literary history and criticism, Schmidhuber explores the life and originality of Sor Juana's dramas and helps elucidate her enigmatic genius. Though Sor Juana's work as a poet and intellectual has received increasing attention in the last decade, writing about her has rarely taken into account her role as dramatist. Schmidhuber helps correct this critical imbalance by examining Sor Juana's plays in light of dramatic theory. He finds elements of both mannerist and baroque theater in her work, sometimes both within the same play.
