WOMEN WRITERS IN GEORGE CĂLINESCU’S LITERARY CRITICISM

Summary/Abstract: “Women Writers in George Călinescu’s Literary Criticism”. This study analyses George Călinescu’s perspective on feminine literature, as expressed by the critic both in his monumental History of Romanian Literature from its Origins to the Present, first published in 1941, and in other critical texts. His opinions on this subject, very suggestive for the critic’s general approach, may be also relevant for the historical and cultural frame of his epoch. As they appear in several reviews, essays, and aesthetic studies, they also provide an interesting perspective of the typical image of women in Romanian literature, as compared to other literatures. Without referring to all of Călinescu’s studies and articles dedicated to women’s literary works, the study points to the main ideas that reveal the author’s general view on this subject.
