Clarinda (poet)
Clarinda was the pen name used by an anonymous Peruvian poet, generally assumed to be a woman, who wrote in the early 17th Century. The only work attributed to her is the long poem ''Discourse in Praise of Poetry'' (''Discurso en loor de la poesía''), which was printed in Seville in 1608. She is one of very few female, Spanish-speaking colonial-period poets whose work has not been lost. Thus, she is often read in partnership with Mexico's Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and fellow Peruvian " Amarilis", whose identity is also uncertain.See Sabat de Rivers 159. Identity and early life Because she wrote under a pen name, and because no documentation definitively affirms her existence, Clarinda's identity is at best enigmatic. Her gender is itself a source of debate, though literary scholars like Georgina Sabat de Rivers and Raquel Chang-Rodríguez have isolated in Clarinda's poetry what they believe is a distinctly female voice. Clarinda was born in the latter half of the 16th Century a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
