This dissertation, entitled “Deledda antimoderna. Prospettive del religioso per una rilettura critica”, starts from the difficulty to achieve a critical judgment on Deledda's literary work. This Sardinian writer has often been related to the most diverse literary trends. Here, we focus on the comprehension of the religious element as a key point for a critical rereading of Deledda's literary work. The metaphysical element constitutes an essential component of her distinctive "fault-expiation" path. The interpretation of this element paves the way to different critical approaches. Among these, one points toward a nihilistic direction, whereas a second, being our starting hypothesis, leads to a more religious understanding. The critical rereading of Deledda's work from a religious standpoint, as presented here, unveils deep and significant relationships with the European existentialist literature, putting Deledda closer to Russian writers in an anti-modern direction |
