Acclaimed for her best-selling translations of Cervantes, Gabriel García Márquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa, Edith Grossman (1936—2023) received many awards including the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation.
"Grossman [renders] Sor Juana's rhythmic gifts in smart and elegant measures." -- Booklist "Edith Grossman is a marvel. With the greatest artistry she has given vibrant, contemporary voice to Sor Juana, legendary proto-feminist bard of seventeenth-century Mexico, capturing the wit, tenderness, and religious fervor of her work." -- Susan Bernofsky, translator of Kafka's The Metamorphosis "Her language is a lesson in speaking to the moment and to the centuries both, and Edith Grossman captures its suggestiveness with a calm elegance." -- Alberto Rios "Impressive... This careful book may ignite new attention to Sor Juana in English, for which Grossman will deserve even more praise." -- Publishers Weekly
