Deledda, Grazia (1875–1936)

Italian novelist. Her novels describe with sympathy the life of the peasants of her native Sardinia. Common themes are the family in decadence and the preoccupation with, and expiation of, sin. A fatalistic and religious atmosphere pervades Canne al vento (1913). She was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926.

Among her other novels are Dopo il divorzio/After the Divorce (1902), Elias Portolu (1903), and La madre/The Mother (1920).
