Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is an original and innovative writer, who, on the one hand, is inserted into the poetic and dramatic tradition of the Golden Age and, on the other, sometimes surpasses it and astonishes us with that excess. The Cervantes Institute London, in collaboration with King's College London's Modern Language Centre and UNAM-UK Centre for Mexican Studies, invite to the course "Sor Juana and the Hispanic Baroque" taught by Dr. Dolores Bravo Arriaga within the framework of the Extraordinary Chair "Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz."
The course of Dr. Bravo Arriaga will make an interesting exploration about the life and work of the author from New Spain and will be held on two dates. On the fisrt session on June 4 she will discuss Sor Juana's correspondence and her work in the field of theater, while the second session will focus on her poetry. The attendees of both sessions will receive a participation certificate.
