Enigma Otiliei (The Enigma of Otilia) by George Calinescu
George Calinescu, an important interwar critic and prose writer, illustrates his theoretical and critical conception of the novel, considering Balzac the essential model. The critic rejects the Proustianism present in the novels of his time (Camil Petrescu), opting for the realistic, Balzacian model, to which he still adds some modern elements, especially in terms of characters. They illustrate a canonical humanity, through the typologies in which it falls, giving objectivity to the novel. The characters are defined by a single feature, fixed at the beginning of the novel, and do not evolve, except for Felix. The rest represent the classi...

The textual engineering, to which the narrator appeals, since the beginning of the novel "Raspberry", published in 1984, visibly marks the discursive organization in four parts and 24 chapters numbered with the letters of the alphabet, from A (the word "Arac") to Z (...

Testament
The volume "Suitable Words" , published in 1927, opens with the poem "Testament" , which represents a "poetic burn", defining the artistic belief of the poet in terms of the aesthetics of the ugly, as a fundamental dimension of Tudor Arghezi's creation, circumscribing thus a hypertext with multiple meanings for our lyrics. For Tudor Arghezi, the programmatic affirmation of the “aesthetics of the ugly” is intrinsically realized through an obvious intertextuality with “Les fleurs du mal”, the volume of lyrics by Charles Baudelaire. The poem "Testament" synthesizes the essence of Arghez's aesthetic thinking. The fundamental idea of ​...

Evening Star
Romanticism is a literary movement that appeared in England in the early nineteenth century, from where it spread first in France and Germany, then throughout Europe. This movement appears as a reaction to the strictness of classical rules, being the first form of modernism in universal culture. In Romanian literature we can talk about romanticism with the appearance of Pasoptists, their manifesto being in fact the Introduction to Literary Dacia, signed by Mihail Kogălniceanu, later through the lyrical work of Mihai Eminescu, which intellectualizes and refines the theme and vision of Pasoptists. Luceafărul is an epic poem that presents th...

The poem "Lead" by George Bacovia was published in 1916 in the volume with the same title, in the middle of the First World War, justifying its predominant theme, death.

The author, G. Bacovia, is the communicative court outside the work that directly expresses his fee...
