The Human Sublime and Its Rhetoric in Vasile Pârvan’s Memorial Rosalia. They fell for freedom. A grief song and a song of triumph

Summary/Abstract: The author of this study analyses the human and moral sublime and its rhetoric in Vasile Pârvan’s memorial Rosalia. They fell for freedom. A grief song and a song of triumph, published in 1918 and dedicated to the Romanian soldiers who gave their lives for a free and united country during WWI. The study starts with some considerations on the various approaches put forth by Romanian criticism connecting Pârvan’s works (Memorials and Historical Forms and Ideas) to the anonymous ancient writer of the Treatise on the Sublime. After an extensive treatment of the moral sublime and its developments in Pârvan’s work, the author focuses on a series of stylistic devices used by the writer, such as the serene style, the all-embracing declamation, the mythological and biblical references, the syntactic figures, especially those of inversion and repetition, and the rhetoric interrogation.
