| Description: |
Describes the story of de Quintana as he arrives in New Mexico and his conflicted life with the local authorities. This work is divided into two portions. The first presents an essay focused on the Church and society in colonial New Mexico, while the second portion presents a critical look at Quintana's poetry and religious plays. |
| Synopsis: |
Miguel de Quintana was among those arriving in New Mexico with Diego de Vargas in 1694. He was active in his village of Santa Cruz de la Canada where he was a notary and secretary to the alcalde mayor, functioning as a quasi-attorney. Being unusually literate, he also wrote personal poetry for himself and religious plays for his community. His conflicted life with local authorities began in 1734, when he was accused of being a heretic. What unfolded was a personal drama of intrigue before the colonial Inquisition. Francisco A Lomeli and Clark Colahan dug deep into Inquisition archives to recover Quintana's writings, the second earliest in Hispanic New Mexico's literary heritage. First, they present an essay focused on Church and society in colonial New Mexico and on de Quintana's life. The second portion is a translation of and critical look at Quintana's poetry and religious plays. |
