IRONY AS THE MAIN INSTRUMENT OF LITERARY EXPRESSION IN THE EPIC BURLESQUE (“ȚIGANIADA” BY ION BUDAI -DELEANU)

Summary/Abstract: Țiganiada” is built through a constant play between revealing and hiding, as a vast epic movement, but often broken, creating the impression of global unity through a subtle art of fragmentation. Budai-Deleanu rectifies the ludicrous spirit, willing to offer "a play" or, as Cervantes said, an honnesto entretenimineto. A world built of pieces of mirror, a world turned upside down, contemplated sometimes with sadness and sometimes with disconnected smile;a heroic-comic-satirical poem with a moral-religious, pedagogical and patriotic purpose.
