The School of Donnina Visconti


Book Description

"The School of Donnina Visconti" is a fictionalized account of the life and adventures of Sir John Hawkwood, condottiere, (1331?-1394) and his wife Donnina Visconti. The story is told primarily through, first, the voice of an editor (who found the MS) and secondly, through the consciousness of Donnina and her "pictures." The poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was a descendant of Donnina Visconti and John Hawkwood. "School" is an expansion of "Donnina Visconti," a short story that won first place honors in Utah Arts Festival Short Short Story Contest in 1993.
