Summary/Abstract: The study „Traditionalism vs. modernity in interwars religious poetry” sugests the approaching of the way of the reception of religious poetry from the perspective of a transitional period under the sign of „traditionalism-modernity”. The research is focused on the subtle manifestation of the concept of „sacred” in the religious experience in its various stages of development / rehabilitation. The ideas that we advocate are that poetic horizons widened by new literary guidelines with the intention of moving to a literary Europeanism and that the desire of finding the right spiritual space for the growth of „pure poetry” led to the retrieval of human origin and to exploring the most hidden mysteries of the unconscious. In this way, interfered with the catalytic power of religious faith to justify, at least in theory, human fulfillment, spiritual aspiration in retrieving originating, spiritual and moral power, utopian hopes that led to the development of value judgments in religious-style poetry.
