D’ANNUNZIO’S WRITINGS
PLAGIARISM ALLEGED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) PARTS, December 9. Lucien Duplessy, writing in a famous French. literary review’, accuses D’Annunzio of wholesale theft from the early works of De Maupassant. He instances cases in which there is exact similarity, and says that D’Annunzio’s “La Siesta’’ is the exact counterpart of Maupassant’s “Abandoned,’’ and there is similarity in “Il Martia” and “At Sea,’’ also “A Piece of String” and D’Annunzio’s “Death of Canada.” Duplessy says that the latter is the best example of D’Annunzio’s imitation. The plot is identical throughout, and D’Annunzio adds nothing.
