    This book investigates how two leading Sicilian authors, Giovanni Verga (1840-1922) and Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), transposed their short stories to the stage. Their leading female characters, gaining voices of their own, can be seen as 'new' women--a phrase recalling Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House (1879). In uncovering these voices, De Francisci draws attention to the actresses performing them, namely Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) and Marta Abba (1900-1988). In giving a physical reality to characters otherwise existing only on paper, they became not only performers of Verga and Pirandello but also influences upon them. By tracing the evolution of these female characters, both on page and in the theatre, De Francisci offers new insights into why the narrative genre is so well suited to Verga's preoccupations, why the theatrical form is more effective in articulating Pirandello's umorismo, and what Pirandello's adaptations reveal about the way in which he comes to negotiate the transition from Realism (or verismo) to Modernism--back cover
