THE ROMANS IN PARIS. FRENCH WRITINGS OF ROMANIAN ORIGIN: DORA D'ISTRIA, ANNA DE NOAILLES AND MARTHE BIBESCO OR HOW CAN WE BE ROMANIAN IN THE EUROPE OF THE NATIONS?

Summary/Abstract: I will discuss in this paper on Romanian-born French women-writers, illustrious authors of high repute: Dora d’Istria, Anna de Noailles and Martha Bibesco. Three women and as many cultural routes of exceptional women, Romanian women, women of letters and lounges, French women-writers. Three interesting and convergent cases, since all three choose to write in French texts that relate, in their great majority, of Romania. More than Anna de Noailles, who was born in Paris of Romanian parents in exile, both Dora d’Istria and Martha Bibesco come from Bucharest, choose the Parisian scene when leaving Romania, write in French and they become French writers. Paris, the capital of literary phenomena and of cultural crossroads, a city of excitement and fervor, is causing a surge of creativity, the privileged space of a permanent bubbling.
