Octavio Paz’s position in the history of Mexico and the formation of its identity has shaped, to a large extent, public opinion, yet there are aspects that are rather unknown. His reflection on the Christian contribution of the Spanish presence is often overlooked, as well as the very nature of the viceroyalty and the integration of the various components of that society. The paper consists basically of bringing together the thoughts of Paz, scattered in writings of very different times, that show these neglected positions.

The article situates the phenomenon of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651–1695) within the myth of the “return of the caravels,” invented from the Spanish American side as a proof of parity with the former “Mother Country,” achieved apparently towards the end of the 19th century. However, “caravels” were “returning” much earlier. Based on the author’s book La mujer que quiso ser amada por Dios (The Woman who Wanted to be Loved by God, 2016) and on recent archival discoveries, the study then focuses on the Mexican nun, the history of her publications in Spain during her lifetime, and the consequences of the historical entanglements of her supporters for her literary heritage; finally, it takes to task the surprising generalized shortcomings of the sorjuanista criticism, among others, reading her work out of its internal (“genetic”) and external contexts, and not having asked some most elemental questions about her works in both the modern and the ancient editions.
