Romanul popular de secol XIX și memoria socio-culturală

Abstract

In the middle of the 19th century, Romanian writers became involved in the creation of an original literature and in the configuration of geniuses, out of the desire to synchronize with other literatures. Thus, there is a tendency to impose the novel, "the literature most liked by readers and most tried by writers", reaching that in the middle of the century to manifest a continuous increase in the number and variety of the range. As a result of this development, the 19th century novel was well represented by: psychological novel, historical novel, social novel, political novel, fantasy novel, philosophical novel and less the adventure novel. The social novel has deserving works, given by the writers of the time. A first classification of the social novel would be: rural novel, provincial novel, urban novel. Another classification would be: objective social novel, novel with moral thesis, novel of social criticism or social satire.
