Abstract
The author of this note offers a review of the book dedicated to the poetryof sor Juana (Lírica personal, ed. Antonio Alatorre, F.C.E., México, 2009).Acording to her, nobody but Antonio Alatorre could accomplish the task,comissioned by the Fondo de Cultura Económica to him, of re-editing thepoetry of sor Juana. Alatorre shared with Méndez Plancarte (another specialistin the literary works of the nun) the vast knowledge of Hispanic poetryof all times, of classical literature, of metrics, and even a religious education,but, unlike Méndez Plancarte, our philologist was a free spirit with amind which wasn’t made for prejudice, his reading skills could lead him toany place. He also had the fortune to witness important discoveries, especiallythe Letter to father Nuñez, precious testimony of the intelectual andspiritual independence of sor Juana.Nueva Revista de Filología Hispánica (1947-), volume 66, 2, July-December 2018, is a semi-annual publication edited by El Colegio de México, Carretera Picacho Ajusco 20, Ampliación Fuentes del Pedregal, Tlalpan, C.P. 14110, Mexico City, Mexico, Tel.
