Starting from the identity, nearly a century apart, between Wordsworth’s declarations of poetics in the ‘Preface’ to ‘Lyrical Ballads’ and Verga’s in the ‘Preface’ to ‘I Malavoglia’, this essay investigates the agreement between Verga’s work and the most important steps, in Scott, Ruskin, and G.Eliot, of the nineteenth-century aesthetic path leading to the centrality, at the end of the century, of the humble characters in Hardy’s and Verga’s masterpieces.

Abstract

Starting from the identity, nearly a century apart, between Wordsworth’s declarations of poetics in the ‘Preface’ to ‘Lyrical Ballads’ and Verga’s in the ‘Preface’ to ‘I Malavoglia’, this essay investigates the agreement between Verga’s work and the most important steps, in Scott, Ruskin, and G.Eliot, of the nineteenth-century aesthetic path leading to the centrality, at the end of the century, of the humble characters in Hardy’s and Verga’s masterpieces.
