Gaspara Stampa Book order

Gaspara Stampa was a Renaissance poet whose work is celebrated as one of the most important collections of female poetry from the 16th century. Her poems, structured in a diary form, capture a wide spectrum of emotions, from profound joy to deep distress. This significant collection was published posthumously by her sister, Cassandra, and dedicated to Giovanni Della Casa. Stampa's enduring influence on literature is so profound that it inspired Rainer Maria Rilke in his renowned Duino Elegies.
