Summary/Abstract: Part of a larger study on Laurenţiu Ulici and the liberal spirit of the 1970s generation’s criticism, the following pages approach the condition of Romanian literary criticism in the years of Communism. To be more precise, we identify the context in which Laurenţiu Ulici’s generation appears and propose a classification of the hypostases of literary criticism (alongside a series of categories, such as the recovered, the reformed, and the Westerners) as well as a synthetic presentation of the previous generation, represented by literary critics such as Eugen Simion, Nicolae Manolescu and Mircea Martin. At the same time, this study proposes a contextual dissociation of the 1960s criticism from that of the 1970s.
