VERGA, GIOVANNI (1840- )

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 1021 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VERGA, GIOVANNI (1840- ) , Italian novelist, was
born
  at
Catania
 ,
Sicily
 . In 1865 he published Storia di una peccatrice and I
Carbonari
  della montagna, but his literary reputation was established by his Eva and Storia di una capinera (1869). Other novels followed, the best of which are Malavoglia (1881) and
Maestro
  Don Gesualdo (1889). His finest
work
 , however, is seen in his short stories and sketches of Sicilian peasantry, Medda (1874) and Vita dei campi (188o); and his Cavalleria Rusticana acquired new popularity from its dramatization and from Mascagni's
opera
  on this subject.
Verga
  and Fogazzaro between them may be said to have faithfully chronicled the inner and popular
life
  of southern and northern
Italy
 .
