She was born of an artisan family, and became a village school-teacher. Her first book of poems, ''Tempeste'' ( 1891 ), tells the helpless tragedy of the forsaken poor, in words of vehement beauty. Her second volume of lyrics, ''Fatalità'', confirmed her reputation as a poet, and led to her appointment to the normal school at Milan; but her later verse, while striking in its sincerity, suffered by a tendency to repetition and consequent Mannerism . She became the first woman member of the Italian Academy in 1940 . REFERENCES |
