Şi Eminescu râde…
Eminescu's Laugh

Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates the literary strategies of Romantic irony in Mitologicale, a less known poem written by Mihai Eminescu. The text is openly subverting the rhetorical devices of Romantic poetry, becoming a self-parody of Eminescu’ great poems. The Romantic irony that nourishes this text mediates both textual comic references and an extratextual meditation on the role of the poet and of poetry.
