Summary/Abstract: On the backdrop of an Orthodox-like tradition, the writer Vasile Voiculescu manages to create modern and post-modern imaginary universes, a work full of obsessive metaphors, under which the construction of the personal myth of the author varies. Taken out of the antecedent shadow account, the author will be recovered posthumously, his work sparking controversy among critics about his inclusion within a literary current or doctrine. In this paper I propose a re-reading of Shakespeare’s Last Imagined Sonnets, in imaginary translation by V. Voiculescu, applying the psycho-critical reading grid instituted by Charles Mauron. By superimposing the literary texts we aim at revealing the networks of constant affective associations, the dominant structural features, at deducing the dramatic situations and declaring the personal myth of the author, which is nothing more than the image of his unconscious personality. We will notice that the structures and the schemes remain consistent in several texts, which proves that they are not accidental and that the unconscious is responsible for their production.
