ACTIVITATEA LUI VINTILĂ HORIA LA REVISTELE „GÂNDIREA” ŞI „MEŞTERUL MANOLE”
VINTILĂ HORIA’S ACTIVITY WITHIN THE PAGES OF THE INTERWAR MAGAZINES ‘GÂNDIREA’ AND ‘MEŞTERUL MANOLE’

Summary/Abstract: In this present paper, I start my analysis from the opinion of the literary critic and historian Ion Simuţ, an opinion which I share as well as its methodological consequences: ‘When speaking about a great writer, we must take into consideration four distinct elements: his/her work, his/her biography, the context and the reception. Each of these elements has at times a separate history, at times a mixed one. When the interpretation of one of them (most often the work) is difficult, people tend to leave the core aside. The collateral escapes create a feeling of novelty and freedom.’ Against the background created by the latest (critical) positionings as towards the exiled writer Vintilă Horia, we consider it important to revisit the first stage of his creative journey, given the fact that it belongs with inter-war Romania. Using the instruments of literary history, I aim to present Vintilă Horia’s activity within the pages of the interwar magazines ‘Gândirea’ and ‘Meşterul Manole’, and also to provide at the end a chronological index of the texts which were published in the two above mentioned magazines.
