| If so far Juana de la Cruz's Auto del Asunción has been studied in relation to a long tradition of Assumption plays looking at the theatrical instructions given by her at the end of one of her sermons, this article proposes to connect this play with other texts by this visionary woman to focus on the battle of angels and demons that is depicted in this corpus. A rather crucial episode of sacred history such as the falling of Lucifer into Hell is, thus, presented within very different frames: the homiletic (Libro del conorte), the theatrical (Libro de la casa y monasterio) and the hagiographic (Vida y fin de la bienaventurada santa Juana de la Cruz). |
