Grazia Deledda: places, loves and works, Avagliano, 2016

Abstract

The Volume written by the Jungian analyst Rossana Dedola tells the story of Grazia Deledda, Nobel prize for literature in 1926, enlightening her European perspective and at the same time her life context in the “boring” town where she was born and in the international cultural environment in which she had forced herself. The journey through her epistolary work gives an image of strength, determination and frank entrepreneurship. The volume traces the features of a case of female empowerment of the 20th century, highlighting the weight of society at the time, Grazia Deledda’s resilience and the prestige attributed to her cultural path.
