1821. Tudor Vladimirescu: A Historiographical Topic Two Hundred Years Later

Summary/Abstract: Following the excessive attention paid to this event during the communist period, nowadays the 1821 Revolution, as well as other historiographical topics connected to historical events of paramount importance, such as the 1848 Revolution, the Union of the Romanian Principalities or the War of Independence, only remain in the pages of magazines published until thirty years ago, being largely overlooked by researchers. The present paper analyzes the situation of the sources, national and international, dealing with this event, the debate concerning its precise nature—rebellion or revolution—as well as other potential avenues of research, from the involvement of the emerging patriotic nobility to the biography and the agenda of Tudor Vladimirescu himself.
