Summary/Abstract: Fiction is often described in terms of social history, cultural history and, to be sure, aesthetics. Our historiometric inquiry including the top 100 Romanian fiction writers and spanning approximately 150 years of Romanian literature, suggests that psychopathology could be taken as a reliable reference point when it comes to the assessment of literary creativity.
