The Symbolic Dimensions and Valences of Space in the Interwar Feminine Prose: Cella Serghi and Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu
Abstract: On the background of the synthesis of the concept of femininity in the Romanian literature and in the light of gender studies and geocriticism, this paper aims to question an intimate relationship between female subjects and fictional space in four interwar and postwar novels written by women: Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu’s 1925 Fecioarele despletite [The Disheveled Maidens], 1927 Concert din muzică de Bach [A Concert of Bach’s Music], Cella Serghi’s 1950 Cartea Mironei [Mirona`s book] and 1970 Gențiane [Gentians]. Through close reading and other methods, this paper aims to demonstrate the existence of a transfer between novelists and their characters. Obsessed with self-definition, they project the same infatuation upon their female subjects. In this matter, space becomes a subject of interest and the construction of fictional spaces, the authors are influenced by their new conquest, oscillating between known spaces, with which they are familiar, and daring to claim other spaces.
Keywords: women novelist, interwar & postwar Romanian novel, female subject, space, analysis of relations.
