GASPARA STAMPA (1523–54) is regarded by many as the greatest Italian woman poet of any age. A highly skilled musician, she produced some of the most musical poetry in Italian. Her sonnets of unrequited love speak in a language of honest passion and profound loss. They look forward to the women writers of the 19th and 20th centuries . This first Italian-English edition includes an introduction, a note on the translation, notes to the poems, a bibliography, and a first-line index . Dual-Language Poetry.
