V. Voiculescu. Contextul biografic și mitul personal la începuturi

Abstract

This paper aims at mapping the symbols present in Vasile Voiculescu’s poetry, with a view to discover the obsessive, recurrent images, as well as the relations that can be established between these images. Aiming to analyse them with the tools of psychocriticism, I have chosen poems included in the volume Pârgă [Ripeness] (1921): Apus de soare (Sundown), Sunt peșteri (There are caves), La răscruce (At the crossroads), Destinul (Fate), Vânătoare Veche (Old Hunt). With consideration to the existing studies, an attempt will be made at reconstituting the imaginary universe of the author Vasile Voiculescu: one supported by the imaginary revealed in the poetry published during his lifetime, and the other, by that in the poems published posthumously.
