Giovanni Pascoli was not a prolific author, nor early.
He wrote little, as if I do not say doing the work as a teacher who also saw him struggling with an institution that certainly did not know aberrations and overpowering bureaucracy in recent decades (he complained that his pupils high school students did not know enough Latin), but because it is crossed by a sloth and indolence, which are basically one with his deepest inspiration. He wrote very little compared to Leopardi, who also gave us the thousands of pages, in fact unexplored, the Zibaldone and correspondence that, for the theatricality of the writing and the undeniable potential philosophical and poetic as further human only a great writer was able to draw it up over a lifetime, worth as much as those of Cicero and Petrarch together and all the novels that the young child never thought, even remotely, to quit.
He graduated late, at twenty-seven in 1882 as a result of family tragedies and after being three months in prison in 1879 for his socialist sympathies. Also made his debut late in 1891, with Myricae and has thirty-six, the age when it came out that had the Morante Lie and spell and roughly that of Aldo Busi when he published Standard Life of a Temporary Pantyhose seller (But in these two cases are in the middle twentieth century): thirty-six, in each case, which do not correspond exactly to those of today (not to forget that Gozzano say goodbye to the youth, considering himself an old man, with only twenty-five years). Six years later, in 1897, at forty years of age, the public poem: The Songs of Castelvecchio out in 1903, when the poet has now forty years old: Poems friendly are of the following year (1904): Odes and hymns of 1906, and reflects the author's fifty years: the Songs of King Enzio of 1909 (cinquattraquattro years): The Poems of the Renaissance 1913, when grazing is dead a year, an alcoholic, in 1912, only once cinquattasette years.
As for the prose, the essays written - if we leave out the little boy (1897), but proves to be dated to the language impossible even if the final say things about the nature and function of a poet - not always they rise the fullness of expression of great literature and it is often part of major anthologies for school: Minerva dark see the light in 1898 (forty years); Under the veil in 1900 (forty-five); The wonderful vision n el 1902 (forty-seven) Thoughts and Speeches in 1907 (fifty-two).
While not forgetting, however, that grazing was a bilingual writer, part of its production being written in Latin, which made him consistently win competitions in Amsterdam, again, not at all negligible, the comparison with Leopardi philologist does not arise.
