Pirandello, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, is a little
known to most English readers. Too few of his plays and stories
have been translated. This hook, therefore, serves the double
purpose of introducing the Italian genius through a summary of all
his dramatic work and interpreting his accomplishments fron an
artistic viewpoint. As a background for his criticism, the Domenico
Vittorini shows first how Pirandello's compassionate pessimism and
tragic mockery resulted from his own tortured existence and in what
way his art is relates to Italian literary tradition and
contemporary thought. Proceeding chronologically, Pirandello's
growth is traced from the elementary naturalism of his early
writing, through his more reflective plays, to the crowning
achievements of later years in which dramatic situations are
approached from a highly intellectualized point of view.
