Luminița Bușcaneanu: o viziune postmodernă asupra poeziei simboliste românești

The volume „Romanian Symbolist Poetry”, whose introductory study, selection of texts and bibliography were signed by Luminița Bușcaneanu, includes, in fact, 2 books: the monographic study on Romanian poetic symbolism and the anthology of poetic texts that subsumes a documented selection, performed competently and meant to demonstrate that the 40 authors „present a set of harmonious counterpoint ‚voices’ in general polyphony, which is the universal symbolism.”In the author’s opinion, the Romanian symbolism, in relation to the French one, is “in a different antithesis to the romanticism, arguing with the literary tradition of inspiration, in principle, folkloric – but, nevertheless, without ‚insurrections, without the publicity of the separation or the abuse of tradition’ – and trying to adapt the funds of French symbolism to the parameters of another type of artistic sensibility, the Romanian symbolism makes a brave leap to synchronize with the literatures of the world.”
