Summary Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651-1695) was the most significant literary figure of the colonial period in Spanish America. 'The autos sacramentales', or Eucharistic plays are some of her least studied, and most perplexing works. While one of them, El divino Narciso, has received substantial scholarly attention, the other two, El cetro de José and El mártir del Sacramento, San Hermenegildo, have been critically neglected in Sor Juana studies. This study presents a full-length analysis of all three plays, along with their loas, or the introductory pieces alongside which they were intended to be performed. Furthermore, the study seeks to place these works in their philosophical and cultural context by exploring their engagement both with orthodox Catholic sacramental theology, and the emergence of empiricism and the New Philosophy across the Hispanic world
This volume surveys the work of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651-1695), the most significant literary figure of the colonial period in Spanish America. Focussing on her three religious plays, it analyses the role of early scientific ideas in her literary works
