Vittoria Colonna's 1538 Rime, originally issued without her
permission by a small Parma press, was the first of many editions
of her poetry published during her lifetime. Born into one of the
most powerful families in Rome and connected to many of the great
political, religious, and artistic figures of the period, Colonna
was uniquely positioned to transform the landscape of women's
writing. The first woman to see her own poems appear in print in a
single-author volume, she led the way for hundreds of other women
of her time to publish their own works. Comprising more than one
hundred and forty sonnets and two canzoni, the Rime expresses
Colonna's anguish over the loss of her husband and her struggle
both to preserve his memory and secure her own future. This volume
presents the first complete English translation of the 1538 Rime
and restores the original Italian texts from the blemished Parma
printing and later composite editions, a boon to readers of both
languages.
