1890. An introduction by W.D. Howells. Italian novelist, Verga
abandoned the study of law for literature and wrote several novels
of passion in the style of the French realists. His later works,
written in a different style, are marked by simplicity and strict
accuracy. They deal with the Sicilian middle class and
sympathetically treat the poverty and struggles of the peasantry.
Verga's technique gave rise to the term verismo, denoting the
realistic school. He is considered one of the outstanding writers
of modern Europe and has been compared with Flaubert and Zola. His
novel The House by the Medlar Tree is a story of infinite beauty,
tenderness and truth.
