Portretul criticului în tinereţe. Anton Cosma: George Topîrceanu
A Portrait of the Literary Critic as a Young Man. Anton Cosma: George Topîrceanu

Summary/Abstract: Anton Cosma (1941-1991) - literary critic, prose writer and dramatist - has left behind numerous unedited manuscripts, among which there are some unknown texts written during his university years, as a student at the Faculty of Philology in Cluj (1958-1963). One of them, presented by A. Cosma’s editor (Ela Cosma), surveys the biography of the humourist poet George Topârceanu (1886-1937). The text about G. Topârceanu is conceived by A. Cosma in the same lively manner and just as full of humour, as both the poet’s Balade vesele şi triste (Merry and Sad Ballads) and the critic’s own pieces of literature (short stories and commedies). George Topârceanu’s life seen by Anton Cosma reveals us certain keys to better understanding the critic’s private view of life and literary credo. It also offers, so to say, a lovely portrait of the literary critic as a young man.
