- W3025232757 abstract "Reviewed by: Las redes sociales de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz by Guillermo Schmidhuber and Olga Martha Peña Doria Asunción Lavrin Las redes sociales de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. By Guillermo Schmidhuber and Olga Martha Peña Doria. (Mexico City: Bonilla Artigas Editores. 2018. Pp. 190. 250 pesos paperback. ISBN 978-607-8636-04-4.) The stated purpose of this formidable work on the family genealogy of the famous seventeenth-century Mexican nun writer is to dispel all misinformation about Sor Juana's family and to clarify her own social provenance. The authors, faithful to their intention, have left no stone unturned or archive unvisited to follow all members of her family several generations before their arrival in Mexico, the facts relevant to her immediate family marriages and descendants, and even some information about some of her friends and distant relatives. Since the discovery of her out-of-wedlock birth early in mid-twentieth century, academicians have puzzled about Sor Juana's father's identity and her mother's unusual decision to live freely with two men; her connections with the vice-regal court despite her lack of a clear pedigree; the fate of her siblings and their connections with the nun throughout her life. This work has laid all those issues to rest. With photos to complement the transcription of all documents, the authors follow all the members of the family since their migration to Mexico in the late sixteenth century. Her father's family came from the Canary Islands and her mother's from Andalucía. Her half-sisters married men well connected in the bureaucracy and social elite, and this explains her ability to enter the vice-regal court. The authors provide data on other well-known friends and contemporaries of Sor Juana, including another poet connected to her, Alonso Ramirez de Vargas, and her friend, the savant Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora. There is also information on the nuns who professed ten years before and ten years after her in the convent of San Jeronimo. Doubtless, the rich information furnished by this work erases forever most of the misconceptions about the poet's family, her age, and even the circumstances of her death, This dedication to rediscover all the relevant exact information on the basic facts of the poet's life deserves thanks from all historians and literary critics who up to very recently had to navigate a sea of incertitude and some erroneous assumptions about this notable woman's life. Genealogical research may be somewhat dry, but in this case, the reading is exciting because it finally solves all the puzzles about Sor Juana's family, leaving the reader with a sense of relief and satisfaction.
