Nonfiction. Literary Criticism. Latino/Latina Studies. Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Electa Arenal and Amanda Powell. Expanded to include fresh translations, an updated bibliography, and the letter that provoked the writing of The Answer, this new edition of the bilingual, critical bestseller provides the most accurate translations of works by the iconic seventeenth-century Mexican nun Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz.
