Excerpt from Vittoria Colonna: Her Life and Poems The life of Vittoria Colonna, the celebrated Marchesa di Pescara, has received but cursory notice from any English writer, though in every history of Italy her name is mentioned with great honour among the poets of the sixteenth century. Mrs. Jameson and Mr. Trollope have given biographical sketches of her; and she is noticed in Roscoe's "Life of Leo X." among the many distinguished persons who were her contemporaries. A French author, Le Fevre Deumier, published a memoir of her in 1856, with prose translations of some of her sonnets. Gambatista Rota appended a short notice of her life to his edition of her "Rime" in 1760. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
