THE ORIGINS OF AVRAM IANCU’S HIGH BROW “HEROIZATION”: IOSIF VULCAN AND THE JOURNAL “FAMILIA” (1867–1872)

Summary/Abstract: The present article relies on two papers by the two different authors. The former paper was a talk given in Alba Iulia, at the National Congress of Romanian Historians, in September 2022, by Floarea Pop, the latter was a speech held during the Cluj Academic Days, in October 2022 by Ioan Bolovan. In our opinion, Avram Iancu’s “heroization” was initiated by the Romanian intellectual milieus of the second half of the nineteenth century. Iosif Vulcan and the journal Familia greatly contributed to the creation of the revolutionary leader’s image as a National Hero.
