Ion Luca Caragiale - The National Specificity of Literary Forms and Genres

Summary/Abstract: Ion Luca Caragiale is an essential author of Romanian realism, and his work fits perfectly into the context of realist literature, a particularly strong and enduring literary movement in national literature. If Ioan Slavici is a representative exponent of realism, especially in his novellas and in the novel Mara, and Liviu Rebreanu continues this tradition, Caragiale reinterprets this movement in an original manner in his prose and dramaturgy. Literary critics and historians have emphasized that Caragiale's work is a valuable document, which reflects the national specificity and revives the way in which Romanian structures and institutions functioned during certain historical periods.
