This \"intersectional\" revisiting of Romanian literature is organized into three parts. Opening with a fresh look at the literary ideology of Romania's \"national poet,\" Mihai Eminescu, part I dwells primarily on literary-cultural history as process and discipline. Here, the focus is on cross-cultural mimesis, the role of strategic imitation in the production of a distinct literature in modern Romania, and the shortcomings marking traditional literary historiography's handling of these issues. Part II examines the ethno-linguistic and territorial complexity of Romanian literatures or \"Romanian literature in the plural.\" Part III takes up the trans-systemic rise of Romanian, Jewish Romanian, and Romanian-European avant-garde and modernism, Socialist Realism, exile and émigré literature, and translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMircea Martin\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Literary Studies at the University of Bucharest, Romania, and a prominent figure of post-World War II East European literary criticism, theory, and comparative studies.
