THE EMINESCIAN MYTH AND NATIONAL MYTHOLOGY IN THE LITERARY CRITICISM OF THE '70S. THE MODEL SET BY IOANA EM. PETRESCU

Summary/Abstract: The Eminescian Myth and National Mythology in the Literary Criticism of the '70s. The Ioana Em. Petrescu Model. The present study explores the issue of national mythology in Mihai Eminescu's theatre, as it appears reflected in Romanian literary conscience across the '70s. Taking advantage of the ideological openness which encouraged the research of national mythological and historical themes, Mihai Eminescu's theatre reenters the attention of literary critics, which, alongside the editing of his theatre, will exploit this new vein of the Eminescian creative universe. In her book, Eminescu. Cosmological Models and Poetic Vision (1978), Ioana Em. Petrescu manages to escape the limiting equation of official, mythologising ideology, without eluding the theme. She will reconstitute the Eminescian dramatic mechanism and integrate theatre creation in the conceptual structure of cosmological models.
