PECULIARITIES OF SHORT STORY FROM DIMITRIE ANGHEL ONWARDS

Summary/Abstract: The status of short prose as a subspecies of the epic genre considered by critics accidental, specific to the beginning of his career, was outlined during the appearance of the great Romanian novels and only in a few Romanian authors. We have identified in almost all writers a mosaic of literary peculiarities, some cultivating more important species, others, especially in the case of those around literary magazines, remaining in the area of story, essay or short story. In the case of reports and small writings, they were considered as particles of literature, sometimes difficult to fit into a literary dimension and taken with representation to the border with paraliterature. Their significance can be underlined, as the case may be, in strict connection with the moment or space of the appearance, by more or less obvious notification of the author's intention. Short prose is an exercise in capturing emotions in a single movement, like a stylistic game in which the author aims to obtain maximum effects with minimum means. In this relationship, time and emotion are inversely proportional: in a very short time a high concentration of emotion is tried.
