	Grazia Deledda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grazia Deledda (September 27, 1871 – August 15, 1936), born in Nuoro, Sardinia, was an Italian writer whose works won her a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926.
		She was born into a numerous burgeois family, attended elementary school and then she was educated by a private tutor (a guest of one of her relatives) and moved on to study literature on her own.
		Deledda's whole work is based on strong facts of love, pain and death upon which rests the feeling of sin and of an inevitable fatality.

	Biography: Deledda, Grazia
		Grazia Maria Cosima Damiana Deledda was born in Nuoro, Sardinia, to the respectable bourgeois parents Giovanni Antonio Deledda and Francesca Cambosu Pereleddu, on September 27, 1871.
		Deledda began publishing stories and novels at a very young age in local papers, despite the shocked reaction of the society of Nuoro and the opposition of her family.
		Deledda's first international success, Elias Portolu, is typical of her preoccupation with the notion of transgression, and with fatally flawed characters torn between hope and despair, right and wrong, sin and redemption.

	Grazia Deledda - Autobiography
		In many of her later works, Grazia Deledda combined the imaginary and the autobiographical; this blend is readily apparent in her novel, Il paese del vento (1931) [Land of the Wind].
		D.H. Lawrence's foreword to Deledda's novel The Mother, which appeared in the English editions of the 1920's, is reprinted in the new edition of M.G. Steegman's translation La Madre (The Woman and the Priest) or The Mother, edited with an introduction and chronology by Eric Lane.

		Until the age of ten, Deledda attended the local elementary school, which was her only formal education, before she was privately tutored in French and Italian.

	The Church of Solitude - Grazia Deledda
		The disease, though never mentioned by name, is clearly cancer, and Deledda knew of what she wrote, herself dying the year the novel was published of breast cancer.
		Deledda does well in describing Maria's inner turmoil: even as she looks to retreat from the world she's tempted by it, and though she suppresses her heart's desires most of the time she cannot help but consider them.
		Maria's illness (and lost breast) loom large over the entire novel, but Deledda does not over-emphasise them: these are facts, and ones that cannot be spoken of openly (and of which practically none of the characters are aware), but regardless, life goes on.

	Grazia Deledda
		Grazia Deledda was born in the Sardinian village of Nuoro into a middle-class family.
		Deledda's interest in the lives of ordinary men and women and rural customs connected her to Giovanni Verga (1840-1922), who depicted provincial Sicilian people, and whose style infuenced deeply a number of prose writers.
		The novel was also Deledda's fictionalized autobiography - Cosima was her second name - in which she chronicled the difficulties faced by a woman who wants to be a writer.

	Grazia Deledda, Cosima: Reviews, Italica Press
		Grazia Deledda is one of the most important women writers of the twentieth century....
		It is easy to be transfixed...by the bluntness of Deledda's characters' emotions, the harshness of their lives, their rawness and violence, sometimes their downright weirdness -- or as they say in the academy nowadays, "otherness."...
		Rarely are her stories wrapped in impressionist gauze, and for all the folkloric gaudiness, the family patterns are recognizable.

		She married very young and moved to Rome, where she lived quietly, frequently visiting her native Sardinia, the setting of most of her fiction.
		Almost without formal schooling, Deledda wrote her first stories at 17, based on sentimental treatment of folklore themes; but with Il vecchio della montagna (1900; "The Old Man of the Mountain") she began to write about the tragic effects of temptation and sin among primitive human beings.
		Deledda developed similar themes in nearly 50 other novels.

		Published in Italy in 1913 but never before translated into English, this richly atmospheric novel by Deledda (1871-1936), the second woman to receive the Nobel Prize for literature (1926), is a tale of penitence, salvation and a Christian-peasant notion of destiny.
		Deledda (Cosima; After the Divorce) traces the decline of the noble Pintor sisters, who live in Sardinia at the turn of the century.
		In a conversation with one of the Pintor sisters, Efix muses, "We are reeds, and fate is the wind." Deledda evocatively depicts the desperate plight of the peasants who hope for a heavenly redemption from their earthly hardships.

		This is the 5th book of Grazia Deladda that I have read and I don't believe that it lives up to her better works.
		Deledda's prose style is so direct that although she wrote this novel over 100 years ago it speaks clearly to the modern reader.
		I was fortunate to have started with "After the Divorce" which is still, by far, the best of her books that I've read.

	Grazia Deledda’s Eternal Adolescents (FDU Press)
		A tiny (five-foot) woman, Grazia Deledda was the only girl in a family that included two brothers.
		In the closed society of Sardinia, women were not supposed to be writers and certainly were not supposed to write about their own people, showing their weaknesses and their flaws.
		In her brief conclusion, Kozma thus sums up the incredible story of the first woman writer of modern Italy: “The probabilities were slight for Grazia Deledda to have flourished even as a minor, regional, literary footnote, much less to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
