Making of Modern Romanian Culture: Literacy and the Development of National Identity

How do literacy and the development of literary culture promote the development of a national identity? This well-researched and readable book explores the rise of Romanian-language literary, educational and printing institutions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, bringing out a story that has not been fully explored in English. He builds on and engages with current knowledge about print culture, modernization, national identity and state formation, to make an original contribution to ongoing debates in these areas.

Nu sunt sigură că teza autorului stă în picioare, dar teza e relativ ușor de ignorat.

„Geneza culturii române moderne” face un lucru foarte, foarte mișto: compilează foarte multe date despre publicare, tipar, educație, școli, elevi, facultăți și cărți din Țara Românească și Moldova, cu câteva detalii și din Transilvania. Conține câteva citate interesante din epocă, punere în context, grafice, un pic de istorie, un pic de politică - fix ce trebuie ca să ai o imagine de ansamblu asupra lumii intelectuale.
