Book Synopsis Between Two Worlds: The Autos Sacramentales of Sor Juana Ines de La Cruz by : Amy Fuller
Book excerpt: The seventeenth-century Mexican poet, playwright and nun, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, is best known for her secular works, most notably her damning indictment of male double standards, Hombres necios (Stupid Men). However, her autos sacramentales (allegorical one-act plays on the Eucharist) have received little attention, and have only been discussed individually and out of sequence. By examining them as a collection, in their original order, their meaning and importance are revealed."
