Synopsis

The Tenth Muse: Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz is a biography written by Fanchon Royer about the life of Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz, a 17th-century Mexican nun, poet, and scholar. The book delves into the life of Sor Juana, who was known for her intelligence and passion for learning, and her struggles to reconcile her desire for knowledge with the expectations of her religious order. It explores her relationships with powerful figures of her time, including the viceroy of New Spain, and her eventual decision to renounce her studies and focus on her religious duties. The biography also examines the impact of Sor Juana's work on Mexican literature and culture, as well as her legacy as a feminist icon. Overall, The Tenth Muse provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the life and work of one of Mexico's most important historical figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
