Le Tradizioni popolari di Nuoro di Grazia Deledda

Writing today about Grazia Deledda's Popular Traditions of Nuoro imposes an immediate and not easy comparison with those who have already written and said in an anthropological key of the Nuoro work and writer, that is, the authoritative exponents of the Ciresian school – and Cirese first , and not always, almost never one could say, they wrote and/or said about it in enthusiastic terms. Their positions, perplexities, points of view are almost completely shared even if at the same time in the opinion of the writer, perhaps, sometimes, Deledda has been written and said too severely. The contribution wants to try to question the Sardinian Nobel differently, or try to think again about the demological materials collected for the «Rivista delle Tradizioni Popolari Italiane» and about those that merged into his narrative work, evaluating the possible usefulness of these materials and the Deleddian legacy.
