Abstract
On “La duchessa di Leyra” * In writing “La duchessa di Leyra”, Giovanni Verga intended to portray a higher social class than the ones described in “I Malavoglia” and “Mastro-don Gesualdo”. It was not merely a change of subject, but the novel wanted to reproduce a different anthropological and psychological condition in which nature is almost entirely concealed by artifice and the character finds himself split between social vanity and inner degradation, between cold self-mastery and secret impulses in the obscurities of consciousness.File in questo prodotto:
