Interférences de l’histoire littéraire. Traités en langue hongroise sur la littérature roumaine au tournant du XXe siècle

Abstract

The delimitation of a literature according to the ethnicity of the authors is problematic in the case of the Romanian men of letters who, at the beginning of the 20th century, wrote and published in Hungarian studies in the history of Romanian literature. Both the professional status, and the multilingualism played a major role in their scientific development. The basic criterion of judging the literature values is usually the aesthetic one; this is why writing in a foreign language, in this case – Hungarian, did not increase the literary recognition. It is the bibliographic value of such a corpus that makes it useful for the research of intercultural relations.
