The Two Faces of Humanity in Modern Poetry
The Two Faces of Humanity in Modern Poetry

Summary/Abstract: Radu Vancu’s book, Elegie pentru uman, continues the line of ideas of writers such as Matei Călinescu, Gheorghe Crăciun and Alexandru Mușina, who have theorized modern poetry. Where Gheorghe Crăciun distinguishes between reflexive and transitive modern poetry, and Matei Călinescu discusses the five faces of modernity, Radu Vancu sets his sights on an ample dissociation between two faces of modernity – the anti-human and the philo-human ones.
