Description: "One of the most celebrated texts of the Hispanic Baroque, El sueno has been identified by critics as one of the inaugural voices of a Latin American Feminist literary tradition. This study focuses upon the poetic conception of space within the text.

It is through the exploration and exploitation of the dialectics of physical space that Sor Juana is able to construct a verbal labyrinth that genuinely reflects the intricacies and ambiguities inherent in the word and the world of seventeenth-century colonial Mexico."--BOOK JACKET.
