Stampa's collection of poems has a diary form: Gaspara expresses happiness and emotional distresses, and her 311 poems are one of the most important collections of female poetry of the 16th century.

The German poet, Rainer Maria Rilke, refers to Gaspara Stampa in the first of his Duino Elegies; which is often considered his greatest work.

teils gute gedichte, aber selbst in dieser auswahl ermüdend in ihrer art, die metaphorik/thematische gegenüberstellung/motive zu wiederholen. schlechtes nachwort, dass sich viel zu sehr auf die biografie stampas konzentriert, gute nachbemerkung des übersetzers zu seinem übersetzungsstil, das alles in schöner ausstattung. als zeitzeugnis weiblicher lyrik von vor 500 jahren lesenswert, und stampa kann auch schreiben, nur leider zu oft dasselbe.
