In Radu Stanca’s Laboratory: Dramaturgical Manuscripts and Projects
Abstract: The present study investigates a section of the corpus of manuscripts left by Radu Stanca, more precisely the archive of literary projects. So far unexplored, a file of ideas and dramaturgical scraps gives a more complex picture of the mechanisms of creation and the scope of his literary laboratory. He had at work, at various stages, no less than forty projects, many with recognizable hypotexts (mythological stories, classical texts, but also historical facts, the recurring paratextual references to Plutarch, Tacitus, N. Gane, etc. revealing to us Radu Stanca as a great reader of history), others of modern inspiration, probing the figure of today’s creator or couple relationships, and others even with elements of realist-socialist atmosphere, in the spirit of the ’50s. The analysis comes to nuance the image of an exclusively bookish or old-fashioned writer that, by and large, literary criticism has superimposed on Stanca’s profile, on the one hand highlighting the contemporary dimension of the themes, on the other, revealing the specificity of the hypertextual practices to which the motivations also resort.
Keywords: Radu Stanca, dramaturgy, manuscripts, hypertextualism.
