Making of Modern Romanian Culture: Literacy and the Development of National Identity (International Library of Historical Studies) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book challenges the notion that Western ideas were essential to Romanian development. It is a fascinating story of how a national culture is born. This book provides a history of the development of literary culture and the printed word in Romania. How do literacy and the development of literary culture promote the development of a national identity? "The Making of Modern Romanian Culture" examines the development of both a literary tradition and institutions aimed at promoting literacy in Romania in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries - from Romanians under the control of the Austrian Empire in the eighteenth century to revolt in Romania under Tudor Vladimirescu in 1821 to Carol, the first King of Romania, crowned in 1881. Alex Drace-Francis combines analysis of education systems, book production, and the periodical press with case studies of key thinkers such as Mihai Eminescu, Ion Luca Caragiale and Titu Maiorescu to trace Romania's cultural and literary development. He offers a criticism of the idea that the 'penetration of Western ideas' was essential to modernism to place literacy and identity within both a Romanian and a global context.

Review
""A significant contribution to the understanding of the formation of the modern Romanian culture and a wonderful survey on the development of the literacy, printing and book circulation and educational networks in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Moldavia and Walachia while its careful investigation of the most important sources and its extensive use of the Romanian scholarship ... turn it into a must read for any student who want to approach the Romanian cultural history in its early periods."" -- East-Central Europe reviews database
