Filiaţie obligată. Eminescu în biblioteca interioară a Anei Blandiana

Abstract

This study proposes a reflection on a poetic lineage (both difficult to circumscribe and unanimously accepted in the history of Romanian literature) between the Romantic Mihai Eminescu (object of a real cult of the “national poet”, but also a poet of the First Modernism) and Ana Blandiana, one of the most important figures of Romanian Late Modernism. I am resuming, on this occasion, some critical considerations I wrote some 30 years ago, on the “Eminescianism” of Ana Blandiana’s poetry, manifested mainly at the level of the literary imaginary – in order to add a few new examples and recontextualize it all, both from a theoretical point of view (intertextuality? imaginary libraries? affective stylistics?), as well as in terms of the clarifications offered, in the last three decades, by the poet herself.
