TWO POEMS TITLED AUTUMN BY SYMBOLIST POETS ION MINULESCU AND CLAUDIA MILLIAN MINULESCU: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to analyse two poems with the same title, Autumn, written by two Romanian Symbolist poets, husband and wife, Claudia Millian Minulescu and Ion Minulescu. Their work is presented in the context of Symbolism at international level, as well as at the level of the development of Symbolism in Romania. The reader-response criticism perspective will be used, due to its allowing for free interpretation through free associations of the allusions present in the use of symbols. Symbols in Symbolist poetry have a strong power of suggestion, and emotions are expressed indirectly, by incorporating external reality. Part of the contribution of the author of the present paper is the analysis of the two poems, together with their translation into the English language.
