Summary/Abstract: This approach stems from a major question on the plurality of images of women and especially of its multiple identities, as they appear in pre-Romantic Romanian poetry. By its nature, the woman has undergone various hypostases and Romanian poets of the early nineteenth century wanted to publicize the lyric representations of the feminine gender: girl, beloved wife, mother, housewife, widow, a simple peasant, old woman, or coquettish woman and adultery. In addition, women’s names were different, from the names that afforded them individuality (Nina, Elvira Zulnia, Maria, Zamfira), continuing with metaphorical designations (fairy goddess) to names belonging either to plants (thrush), or to the animals (lark, swallow). Consequently, the goal of our work is to show how we have managed to bring up poetic images of the eternal feminine in certain poems of writers who were in their early modern literature.
