ARCAN

Results

ARCAN in a nutshell:

  • The famous diagnosis made by Nicolae Iorga (and confirmed by many other critics), that Romanians did not have “a novel of their own” in the first 50-70 years of the genre’s existence in Romania, is not confirmed by a quantitative analysis of the genre in relation to Romanian poetry.
  • At least in the first century of existence of the Romanian novel, its “canon” is not defined by a simple denial of the properties of the “archive,” but the relationship between the two poles is much more complex.
  • Until the First World War, there was no sufficiently clear typological differentiation between the subgenres of the novel in Romania, just as there was no firm opposition here between the “artistic” novel and popular fiction.
  • The “canonical” Romanian novel emerged after the First World War through the systematic elimination of all “popular” features from its content.
  • Although typologically delineated in relation to the “artistic” novel, popular fiction remained a profoundly underdeveloped phenomenon in interwar Romania.
  • The first novel of Romanian literature—Elvira sau Amorul făr’ de sfârșit (Elvira, or Endless Love, 1845), signed only with the initials “D.F.B.”—was actually written by C. A. Rosetti.
