This edited collection presents fresh and original work on Vittoria
Colonna, perhaps the outstanding female figure of the Italian
Renaissance, a leading Petrarchist poet, and an important figure in
the Italian Reform movement. Until recently best known for her
close spiritual friendship with Michelangelo, she is increasingly
recognized as a powerful and distinctive poetic voice, a cultural
and religious icon, and an important literary model for both men
and women. This volume comprises compelling new research by
established and emerging scholars in the fields of literature, book
history, religious history, and art history, including several
studies of Colonna's influence during the Counter-Reformation, a
period long neglected by Italian cultural historiography. The
Colonna who emerges from this new reading is one who challenges
traditional constructions of women's place in Italian literature:
no mere imitator or follower, but an innovator and founder of
schools in her own right.
