The Pressure of De-Ruralization in Marin Predaʼs Post-Thaw Novels
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The paper looks at the tension between ruralism and urbanism and between foreign models and autochthonous engagement in Marin Predaʼs literary evolution. Although Preda is seen as the most representative rural novelist of the post-war Romanian literature, the aim of the paper is to demonstrate that, starting with the 1962 Risipitorii, his career can be described as a systematic attempt to de-emphasize this framing. The study also tries to pinpoint some of the ideological or cultural aspects responsible for the writerʼs growing internalization of the skepticism toward rural literature.
