The article examines five novellas by Federigo Tozzi (Una figliola, Una donna, La zitella ghiotta, La vera morte and Donata), analysing the parable of the five female protagonists under the lens of existential failure and the failure of all aspirations. For each of the texts, through precise textual parallelisms, a comparative reading is proposed with two texts by Flaubert, respectively Un Coeur simple and Madame Bovary, to propose the possibility of a Flaubertian hypotext in the construction of some of the pivotal situations and characters of this part of Tozzi’s novelistic work.

Abstract
The article examines five novellas by Federigo Tozzi (Una figliola, Una donna, La zitella ghiotta, La vera morte and Donata), analysing the parable of the five female protagonists under the lens of existential failure and the failure of all aspirations. For each of the texts, through precise textual parallelisms, a comparative reading is proposed with two texts by Flaubert, respectively Un Coeur simple and Madame Bovary, to propose the possibility of a Flaubertian hypotext in the construction of some of the pivotal situations and characters of this part of Tozzi’s novelistic work.File in questo prodotto:
