Grazia Deledda
Encyclopedia Article
Grazia Deledda (1875-1936), Italian novelist influenced by the verismo (realism) movement, and known for the realistic details and engaging story lines of her works. She was born in Nuoro, Sardinia, and moved to Rome in 1900. A prolific writer, she produced many novels and short stories evocative of the hard life and emotional conflicts of the people of Sardinia. Elias Portolu (1903) develops the story of an ex-convict in love with his sister-in-law. Cenere (1904; Ashes, 1908) concerns a mother and her illegitimate son. Her most famous novel, La madre (1920; The Mother, 1923), explores the relationship between a priest and his devoted mother. Deledda won the 1926 Nobel Prize in literature. Her autobiographical novel Cosima (1937) was published posthumously.
