Lucian Blaga, Dinspre „Alegoriile Naţionale” Spre World Literature

Abstract

Abstract Whether we refer to Lucian Blaga’s inclusion in a hyper-canon, or we choose to focus on his relationship with European cultures or his incursions into the realm of philosophy, the contextualization of his work can only be achieved by going down a two-way street; can we refer to Blaga as a German author of Romanian expression, as he was considered to be by some of his contemporaries, or can we refer to him as Romanian Goethe, as he was named upon the release of his translation of Faust? These are just a few lines of thought the present study is based on.
