| Abstract: | In this short paper, I propose to consider D. H. Lawrence as a travel writer and translator of the work of Giovanni Verga, the Sicilian novelist best known for the novels/ Malavoglia and Mastro Don Gesualdo and author of numerous short stories and sketches of peasant and country life in Sicily, collected principally in Vita Dei Campi, Novelle Rusticane and Vagabondaggio. I would like to suggest that it is unfair to Lawrence and an inadequate appraisal of his engagement with Verga and his work to base our judgment on his limited knowledge of the Italian language and the haste with which he carried out his translations of Mastro Don Gesualdo and the short stories in Vita dei Campi and Novelle Rusticane. |
