Looking back, Eminescu’s modernity
This article focus on Radu Vancu’s most recent book, Eminescu. Three essays. The book does not intend to dismantle some existing theories concerning Mihai Eminescu’work, it offers a very exciting thesis and, in many ways, unprecedented: on one hand, Eminescu’s separation of romanticism and his approachement of the modernity, on the other hand, the existence of some similarities between the young poets from the so called generation 2000 and the author of The Letters.
Keywords: Mihai Eminescu, Radu Vancu, romanticism, modernity, existence, apocalyptic imaginary.
