Summary/Abstract: This article starts from a general characterization of the international campus/academic novel and the exploration of its appearance and evolution. Against this frame, the author makes an inventory of the Romanian novels belonging to this genre and analyses three samples from various historical periods: Marta Rădulescu’s 1933 novel entitled Sînt studentǎ! [I Am a Student!]; Alexandru Muşina’s 2013 novel entitled Nepotul lui Dracula [Dracula’s Descendant]; and Codrin Liviu Cuţitaru’s 2017 novel Scriptor sau Cartea transformărilor admirabile [The Scriptor or the Book of Admirable Transformations]. Continuities and discontinuities point to the vitality of this literary form in Romanian literature, especially after 1990.
