Handbook of Romanian Literature
Series: - Handbooks of Literary and Cultural Studies, Volume: 5
Translator:
The Handbook of Romanian Literature illuminates the richness of Romanian history through the evolution of literary forms, from 16th-century religious tracts to modern works available in English by writers such as Mihail Sebastian, Mircea Eliade, Emil Cioran, Ana Blandiana, Gabriela Adameșteanu, and Mircea Cărtărescu. The 12-chapter structure addresses each period by surveying past and future developments and looking outwards to links with other cultures that touched Romanian writers. Narrated in a pithy style, enhanced by excerpts from the works discussed, and quotes from critics past and present, this book brings each era sharply to life.
