At her death in 1695 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz left a remarkable body of writing-religious, courtly, and popular poems in a wide variety of verse forms; intellectual treatises; religious and secular plays; a long epistemological poem; “Primero Sueño”; and an autobiographical essay, the “Respuesta a Sor Filotea”, wich, to date,remains the most reliable literary potrait we have of this woman of genius.


What we know of Sor Juana merely awakens our appetite for further information. We are unsure of date of her birth. We do not know wheter she ever knew her father. We know approximately when she was sent to Mexico City to live with her mother’s sister, but not why. We can approxiamte the dates of her life in courtunder the protection and patronage of the Marqués and Marquesa de Mancera, but we know nothing of the everyday details of those years. We can only speculate as to why at the heigt of her popularity and the full flush of her beauty she left the court to enter tne convent. In addition to the guesses we can make from her writing, and beisdes the autobioraphical “Respuesta”, and the nearly contemporarybiography written by Father Diego Callejas, we have only a handful of birth, death, and marriage records relating to her family, and a few papers concedrning Sor Juana’s entrance into and subsequent professiomns of faith in firts the Carmelite Order, and then the convent of Saint Jerome, where she died.

It was reported that the number of deaths caused by railways
in one year was 4,712. That sounds like a good argument for
staying off trains, perhaps for keeping to your cars instead.

it means something quite different.Nearly half the victims

miles.
