At her death in 1695 Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz left a remarkable body of writing-religious, courtly,
and popular poems in a wide of verse forms; intellectual treatises; religious and secular plays; a
long epistemological poem, Primero sueo; and an autobiographical essay, the Respuesta a Sor
Filotea, which, to date, remains the most realible literary portrait we have of this woman of genius.
What we know of Sor Juana merely awakens our appetite for further information. We are unsure of
the date of her birth. We do not know whether she ever knew her father. We know approximately
when she was sent to Mexico City to live with her mothers sister, but not why. We can approximate
the dates of her life in court under the protection and patronage of the Marqus and Marquesa de
Mancera, but we know nothing of the everyday details of those years. We can only speculate as to
why at the height oh her popularity and in the full flush of her beauty she left the court to enter the
convent. In addition to thes guesses we can make from her writing, and besides the
autobiographical Respuestas, and the nearly contemporary biography written by Father Diego
Callejas, we have only a handful of birth, death, and marriage records relating to her family, and a
few papers concerning Sor Juanas entrance into and subsequent professions of faith of faith in first
the Carmelite Order, and then the Convent of Saint Jerome, where she died.
