Summary/Abstract: The article aims at retrieving, based on novel documents and on our own individual research, a defining moment in the history of the Romanian PEN Club, i.e. its foundation in the years right after WWI. The episode is integrated within the enlarged historical, political, social and cultural context of the time. The figure of Marcu Beza,the Romanian Anglicist and diplomat in London in the 1920s, draws our attention due to his determination in engaging Romanian writers in the emergent circuit of democratic values specific to western societies.
