Summary/Abstract: The paper questions the relevance and limits of critical approaches. Since each act of critical reading is a battle between the critic’s commitment to the rigid principles of literary methods and the text’s free will, literary criticism faces the menace of vanity, suspicion and futility . The innate instability of any literary text makes almost impossible the preservation of methodological coherence. In this context, the intricate relationships between literary history, literary theory and criticism configures a rather provocative epitome of Romanian literature.
