THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LITERARY CANON AND CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LITERARY CANON AND CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: "Literature has always been a privileged space for expressing inner suffering, identity crises, and feelings of alienation. In this context, poetry becomes not only an aesthetic act but also a form of self-therapy and existential acceptance of pain. The themes of depression and alienation have persisted throughout literary history, adapting to the cultural and emotional climate of each era. The literary canon refers to a set of essential works that shape cultural education, traditionally taught in schools and upheld by academic institutions—classical examples include Eminescu, Creangă, Rebreanu, and Sadoveanu.Contemporary literature includes texts written in recent decades that reflect modern themes, diverse styles, and current issues. Authors such as Ioana Nicolaie, Lavinia Braniște, Dan Coman, Mircea Cărtărescu (in his recent works), and Simona Popescu are notable representatives."
