Summary/Abstract: This essay is centered on the idea of the so-called “secret literary history”, as soon as on the idea of “literary geographic perspective” that are the most new concepts in the theory of Romanian literature. One of the targets deals with the European perspective of the history of literature, especially because nowadays the main focus in all philological fields is to reinforce the importance and the elegance of literary creation according to the values promoted all along Europe and not only. That is why this paper tries to explain the effects of the damaged relations between “Borders” and “Center” of culture (having in mind the totalitarian system and its rules) and, on the other hand, we try to promote the new mission of culture (especially of the history of literature) to create a new valid hierarchy of values. Our supports are several fresh books and opinions of some of the most important Romanian critics and philosophers. We intend to suggest that their points of view are topical and their mentality about the institution of culture is very productive.
