The book’s focus on Sor Juana’s ‘engagement with non-musical sound’ significantly complements existing scholarship on musical sound, whether from a musicological or literary perspective. The broad approach to aurality and sound that the author undertakes—from harmony to resonance, sound, echo, and silence—will make it an indispensable study on the subject.”—Mario Ortiz, associate professor of Spanish at the Catholic University of America\u003cbr\u003e“Sarah Finley brings a unique combination of expertise in early modern musicology and current sound studies to illuminate a web of connections among aesthetic, philosophical, scientific, gendered, and political contexts.
