  • Giorgio Forni
Keywords: Gaspara Stampa, evangelismo, faith, jealousy, Baldassare Stampa, Benedetto Varchi

Abstract

In Gaspara Stampa’s Rime, there is a co-presence of bodily emotions and spiritual fervours that has very few parallels in 16th-century poetry. The article explores the intertwining of religious sensibility and analysis of the passion of love by investigating the cultural structures within which her poetry collection took shape.
