An encyclopedia made by augmenting the interpretative and informational data (articles on authors, editors, translators, literary publications, institutions etc.) with synthetic studies on literary and cultural movements that contributed in an essential way to the process of defining and structuring the Romanian literature as literature. Having as its pillars the great personalities of M. Eminescu, I.L. Caragiale, Ion Creangă, Tudor Arghezi, Mihail Sadoveanu, Camil Petrescu, Nichita Stănescu, Marin Preda – but also those of Eugen Ionescu, Emil Cioran and Mircea Eliade – the General Dictionary of Romanian Literature represents an invaluable thesaurus of Romanian culture…

The refuge in the past does not mean so much nostalgia, but especially the transformation of missing values in distant times – such as patriotism and heroism – into alternatives to the desolate present. Locus amoenus is conceived according to nation’s the needs, in fact the concept by which romantic intellectuals try to provide the optimal answers to the dilemmas, anxieties and problems of the community. The past receives utopian valence. The freedom and dignity of the Dacians, the mythical aura of the rulers like Decebalus and the respect that Dacia imposed on the Roman Empire are…

It considers the context of the female autobiographical literature inspired by First World War in Romania, especially the model of the literature written and published by Queen Marie of Romania during the war. The tipology of this literature is double, private and public, sometimes written as a diary but meant to be published in periodicals which encouraged people to resist during the war. In Notes from the War (A Diary), by Neli Cornea, diary writing and memorial writing mix, temporal perspectives and ideological messages change, as the author tries to express herself, but also to offer a model for other women. She puts down her own war experiences, but she also voices a war ideology…

The organization of the paper is one based on “stratification”, starting from an industrial geography which trigerred a prosperous cultural and literary geography. Thus, the research paper will focus on the areas where a mining tradition developed, later on to be “imported” into literature. Such a territory is Țara Moților. The writer who established this topos is Ion Agârbiceanu, in his novel The Archangels from 1913–1914, the first literary work of such magnitude dedicated to the Romanian mining. The novel was initially published in instalments, in the “Luceafărul” literary magazine (Sibiu) in 1913. As a book, it was published in 1914, also in Sibiu. The novel homogenizes several approaches: mythological and ethnographic, parabolic (here, in its…

Ciocarlie.pdf Résumé: Consacré comme auteur d’élégies érotiques, Properce cultive dans ses premiers recueils une poésie des plaisirs. Il ne se sent pas en mesure à célébrer des thèmes épiques et il résiste aux injonctions de Mécène d’écrire des poèmes héroïques solennels. Mais le temps passe et il finit par se plier aux exigences. Le poète de l’amour libre se résigne à plaider pour la famille conservatrice et les valeurs morales promues par l’empereur Auguste. Le changement d’attitude se fait sentir surtout dans le dernier volume de Properce, consacré aux lieux sacrées de Rome et aux traditions nationales. Les élégies d’amour ont cédé la place aux poèmes civiques proches de l’idéologie officielle de l’époque. Mots-clés: Properce, Auguste, élégie érotique, poème civique.

Il faut souligner dans cette direction le changement d’attitude, la tournure dès louanges du début vers les critiques parsemées par des notes intransigeantes et mêmes acides, qui accompagneront plus tard la littérature d’un écrivain très populaire à l’époque. C’est un cas singulier alors que Pompiliu Constantinescu était connu pour l’intuition et l’équilibre dont il faisait preuve dans ses raisonnements critiques. Mots-clés: prose, attitude critique, Pompiliu Constantinescu, Cezar Petrescu, presse.

Based on the narrative strategies of Naturalism, V. Demetrius’ „sympathetic” approach, draping up in tragedy the economic realities of life in the new industrial peripheries, appears to us as basically opposed to I.L. Caragiale’s critical perspective, more focused on the moral and psychological issues of the marginal milieux. Keywords: periphery, slum, reality, tragedy, Naturalism.
