Capuana - Capuana (English spelling) Luigi Capuana

Japanese: カプアーナ - かぷあーな(英語表記)Luigi Capuana
Capuana - Capuana (English spelling) Luigi Capuana

Italian literary critic and novelist. Influenced by French naturalism and the aesthetics of De Sanctis, he published Studies in Modern Italian Literature (vol. 1, 1879, vol. 2, 1882) and advocated the theory of verismo. He also created works based on his own theories, such as the novel Giacinta (1879) and the collection of short stories Passionate Women (1893), set in his native Sicily. His masterpiece is the novel The Marquis of Roccaverdina (1901). However, these works fall far short of the grand literary world constructed by his fellow master G. Verga, and while they are more folkloric than poetic, they run the risk of remaining merely a document of local customs.

Japanese:

イタリアの文芸評論家、小説家。フランス自然主義文学およびデ・サンクティスの美学の影響下に、『現代イタリア文学研究』(第1巻・1879、第2巻・1882)を発表し、ベリズモの理論を提唱した。長編小説『ジャチンタ』(1879)、短編集『情熱の女たち』(1893)など、故郷シチリアを舞台に、自らの理論に基づく創作も手がけ、長編小説『ロッカベルディーナの侯爵』(1901)がその代表作とされる。しかしそれらは、同郷の巨匠ベルガG. Vergaの構築した壮大な文学世界には遠く及ばず、詩的というよりも民俗学的様相を呈しながら、単なる地方風俗のドキュメントにとどまる危険性をはらんでいる。
