Overview

«He copiado y cotejado, verso a verso, línea a línea, la mayoría de los testimonios antiguos y modernos a través de los cuales se nos ha transmitido la obra de sor Juana.»

Desde el siglo XVII hasta hoy, la obra y la figura de sor Juana han cultivado alabanzas por su inteligencia, su genio artístico y su conocimiento universal. Pero ¿qué hizo posible este hecho extraordinario?, ¿cómo fue que una mujer del pequeño poblado de Nepantla llegó a ocupar las cumbres de la poesía barroca?, ¿quiénes la ayudaron a publicar su obra si ella pasó la mayor parte de su vida dentro de un convento?

La solución de esos misterios aguardaba en fondos reservados y archivos de bibliotecas dispersas por el mundo la llegada de un lector brillante, coleccionista y sabueso llamado Jorge Gutiérrez Reyna. Con una perspicacia generosa, el autor de este ensayo narra los pormenores del intenso intercambio cultural entre la península ibérica y el virreinato, reconstruye minuciosamente la historia de las publicaciones de sor Juana entre 1668 y 1725 y muestra la intrincada red de colaboraciones detrás de su fama.

Entre viajes de ultramar y amenazas de corsarios, un caballero de la Orden de Santiago, una virreina cómplice, un médico amigo, un aspirante a obispo, varios sacerdotes y muchas manos anónimas, la poesía de sor Juana inunda las páginas de este libro lleno de aventuras. Una celebración del binomio inseparable de la literatura y la imprenta; una biografía coral; una crónica detallada de su proceso creativo; una historia sobre las ediciones que inventaron a sor Juana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“I have copied and compared, verse by verse, line by line, most of the ancient and modern testimonies through which Sor Juana’s work has been transmitted to us.”

From the 17th century to the present day, the work and figure of Sor Juana have been praised for her intelligence, artistic genius, and universal knowledge. But what made this extraordinary feat possible? How did a woman from the small town of Nepantla come to occupy the heights of Baroque poetry? Who helped her publish her work if she spent most of her life in a convent?

The solution to these mysteries awaited in reserved collections and archives of libraries scattered around the world, awaiting the arrival of a brilliant reader, collector, and sleuth named Jorge Gutiérrez Reyna. With generous insight, the author of this essay recounts the details of the intense cultural exchange between the Iberian Peninsula and the Viceroyalty, meticulously reconstructs the history of Sor Juana’s publications between 1668 and 1725, and reveals the intricate network of collaborations behind her fame.

Between overseas voyages and threats from pirates, a knight of the Order of Santiago, a complicit vicereine, a doctor friend, an aspiring bishop, several priests, and many anonymous hands, Sor Juana’s poetry floods the pages of this adventure-filled book. A celebration of the inseparable pairing of literature and printing, a choral biography, a detailed chronicle of her creative process, a story about the editions that invented Sor Juana.
