Monuments of Literature, Scraps of Criticism

Summary/Abstract: The study traces the emergenceand evolution of the “text analysis,” agenre of linguistic-literary research that no(postwar) history of Romanian linguistics orliterary criticism registers as such, althoughit led to a rich production of studies at thejuncture of the two domains. The investiga-tion assumes two basic goals: on the onehand, to explain the reasons why Romanianlinguistic research during communism devel-oped in dominantly analytical form and withmain focus upon fiction; on the other hand,to assess the relation of this trend with arch-ideas of the entire literary-critical field of theage (like “literary singularity,” “aestheticautonomy,” “the great writer” etc.).
