UN SCRIITOR BLĂJEAN NECUNOSCUT: IOAN RUSU
A ROMANIAN WRITER FROM BLAJ: IOAN RUSU

Summary/Abstract: Apart from its undeniable documentary value, Barit and his contemporaries epistolary corpus (volumes I-X), rounds off the rather poor gallery of the 19th century Transylvanian writers. This is due to the fact that literary histories only mention and present Andrei Muresanu, the author of “Răsunetul” (Deşteaptă-te, române – later to become the Romanian national anthem). Ioan Rusu is a mid-19th century Transylvanian poet. He is among the first poets that illustrated the beginnings of Transylvanian preromanticism by the themes he approached in his poems. His literary importance is enhanced by the fact that it is him who we owe the first Romanian translations from Schiller.
