Un Bildungsroman epistolar
Rezumat
An Epistolary Bildungsroman
Abstract: The present article focuses on one of the most interesting Romanian literary epistolary, An Epistolary Novel, by I. Negoițescu and Radu Stanca, both members of Literary Circle of Sibiu. The re-editing of the correspondence of the two writers completes, where possible, the collection of letters, but also passages censored in the first edition. It also offers an interesting research core for Romanian literary studies from the perspective of so-called memory studies and life writing. The epistolary „novel” is, in fact, a „bildungsroman,” as Negoițescu characterized it, and also a fresco of the Romanian literary life from 1943 until 1961, with the related cancans, with the little mischief and chicanery, with the obstacles to be overcome in the editorial and the artistic world.
Keywords: biographical genres, epistolary, Ion Negoițescu, Radu Stanca.
