Summary/Abstract: The study analyses Romanian specialists’ attempts to compile histories of Anglophone literatures. Special attention is paid to Leon Leviţchi’s contribution to the Romanian historiography of English Literature. The second part of the paper deals with the strategies to integrate the reception of foreign literatures (particularly Anglophone ones) into national literary histories, emphasizing the fact that David Damrosch has some valuable predecessors among the authors of Romanian literature dictionaries.
