Summary/Abstract: Dedicated to the Romanian poetry inspired by the experience of the two World Wars, the article traces the development of modern irony – ethically engaged against the realities of trench warfare and against the context that made them possible – in the verses of combatant poets and in those of civilians. The goal of the approach is to outline the evolution of this oblique discursive strategy in the Romanian poetry, under the pressure exerted by the events of the first half of 20th century, before becoming an Aesopian literary practice during Communism.
