This excursus through the history of Romanian culture reveals that not only the communist experience compromised the engaged literature, but there is also a certain resistance inherent to the Romanian literary field to anything that could affect the so-called aesthetic autonomy, one of the guiding principles of the Romanian literature of the last century and a half. The engaged literature carries with it a stigma in the Romanian literary field of which historical and social causes I exhibit in the first part of the paper. To analyze the posibilities of this relation I chose to look upon the case of the engaged literature, a type of writing in which the link between the text and the context is obvious. ![]() This paper aims to explore the way in which the literary posture of a writer and his or hers poetics reflect and influence each other. ![]()

As documented in the feature-length documentary The Polymath (2008), Delany’s work as a teacher, thinker, and writer stretches the boundaries of literature and criticism. DELANY (born April 1, 1942) is one of the most - if not the most - important science fiction writers and critics alive today.
