A nice surprise. A brilliant author was revealed to me.
Not her best but still worth reading In this novella (all of her books are short) we see the story of a family of aging sisters who are so down on their luck that their nobility is in name only.We start the story by meeting the sister's servant, Efix.As the tale unfolds we see that he is the person who runs the operation.He does all the work, makes most of the arrangements, and smoothes many a feather.Well, things happen, people come and go, and we end up with an ending that lets us appreciate how an poor, unpaid servant saves the day for his masters (mistresses?).Along the way we again view a society and its' customs that would be otherwise unknown to us.It is poignant at the end when the sisters take care of Efix after he is no longer able to care for himself.The story of the servant managing the affairs of the sisters and the sisters caring for the servant gives a nice twist to a society that was obviously not used to such role reversals. If it were possible, I would rate this book 3 1/2 by the 5 star grading system.That's not to say that this isn't a good book.Rather it's to say that I know that the author has done better.
Magic, entertaining and superbly written.
A flavorful and evocative rendering of an old Italian past.

Editorial Review Product Description Grazia Deledda (1871-1936) was the author of many influential novels and remains one of the most significant Italian women writers of her time. However, critics tend to pigeonhole her works into convenient literary categories and to ignore the uniqueness of her style and voice. Grazia Deledda's Dance of Modernity offers a timely and thought-provoking interpretation of this Nobel laureate, examining her work in the context of European philosophical and literary modernity. Margherita Heyer-Caput takes a philosophical and philological approach in order to provide a reassessment of Deledda's position in the literary canon. At the same time, she raises the larger issue of the status of allegedly 'regional' or 'minor' literatures within the context of Italian modernity. Dealing with four novels representative of Deledda's vast corpus, Heyer-Caput addresses and dismantles elements of regionalismo, verismo, and decadentismo, labels with which Deledda's works are regularly associated. This is the first volume to introduce some of Deledda's overlooked texts to an Anglophone audience. It invites readers to overturn established critical categories and to question margin-centre hierarchies both in the broad context of literary modernity and the narrower frame of Deledda's writing. Grazia Deledda's Dance of Modernity is a highly original and innovative interpretation of Deledda's narrative in philosophical perspective, which also includes the study of textual variations and considers cultural history in Italy during the early twentieth century. It is a much-needed examination of an important writer and how she managed to construct her own literary and gender identity in the context of modernity. |
