CASTANO NAVARRO, Ana. Sermón y literatura: La imagen del predicador en algunos sermones de la Nueva España. Acta poét [online]. 2008, vol.29, n.2, pp.191-212. ISSN 2448-735X.

On the one hand, the sermon of the Mexican colonial period partakes of the more learned and academic aspects of literary language; but on the other hand it can also partake of the techniques of orality, drama and even journalism. This paper discusses the Sermon as a genre in the cultural and literary atmosphere of colonial Mexico, as well as the prestige and vitality acquired by this long established literary form -with the corresponding professional pride of those who cultivated it. Examples are drawn from sermons of this period, with images that portray some of the dominant ideas about the preacher in the Nueva España, whose work in more than one way resembles the modern essay.
