Jerrold, Maud F. Vittoria Colonna; with some account of her friends and her times. *$4. Dutton.
7–32139.
A new biography of this gifted woman whose friendship not only with Michael Angelo, but with bishops, cardinals, popes, artists and poets made her a conspicuous figure of her time. Many of her sonnets are included in this volume which also contains a complete bibliography, genealogical tables, and an index.
“Mrs. Jerrold has not given us a final ‘life’ ... but she has produced a pleasant book treating of movements and personalities which must always be full of interest for students of the renaissance and human nature.”
