DIN CORESPONDENŢA LUI VASILE GOLDIŞ CU UN ŢĂRAN BĂNĂŢEAN
VASILE GOLDIS’S CORRESPONDENCE WITH A BANATIAN PEASANT

Summary/Abstract: The article presents some of the letters sent by Vasile Goldiş to a Banatian ploughman writer. In interwar Banat, these farmers wrote and published literature and created widely circulated rural newspapers. Among these was the cultural magazine The Dawn of Banat. Vasile Goldiş, impressed by it, contacted its creator, Paul Târbăţiu. Their chain of letters was recently rediscovered in the ploughman’s archive. They contain Goldiş’s harsh commentary about the state of interwar Romania. The scholar’s openness in front of a simple peasant is remarkable. By analyzing these documents and the context in which they were written, intimate aspects of Goldiş’s personality are revealed.
