Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This study, originally presented as a Saint Joseph's Day Lecture, offers a compelling analysis of the meaning underlying the vigorous devotion to St. Joseph on the part of two 17th-century Hispanic nuns: Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz, the premier woman writer of Mexican letters, and Sor Marcela de San Flix, the daughter of the famous Spanish playright Lope de Vega. Victims of various forms of injustice imposed by the patriarchal world in which they lived, these nuns perceived St. Joseph's attributes of silence, chastity, and devoted care of his family as setting the saint in sharp contrast to the oppressive male figures, in the outside world and within the Church, with whom they had to contend. For both these women, St. Joseph was the model man to be aspired to by Hispanic society on both sides of the Atlantic. Georgina Sabat-Rivers, is Professor Emerita of Hispanic Languages and Literatures, at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and has published numerous books and articles on 17th-century Hispanic convent literature.
