Matei Calinescu reface istoria unui concept si conceptualizeaza el insusi
cu egala dexteritate. Nu e nevoie sa apelam la studiile sale mai intinse
despre clasicism sau despre fantastic pentru a documenta o asemenea afirmatie,
pentru ca oricare dintre aceste eseuri poate servi drept marturie in acest
sens. Dimensiunea problematizanta caracterizeaza atat comentariile sale
dedicate unor scriitori consacrati din spatiul autohton si strain, cat
si pe acelea despre literatura contemporana. (Mircea Martin)
Matei Calinescu rebuilds the history of a concept and at the same time conceptualizes
himself, with equal ability. There is no need to refer to his extensive studies
on Classicism or the fantastic to certify this statement, because any of his
essays can stand as proof in this respect. The problem-posing dimension is a
characteristic of both his commentaries dedicated to time-honored Romanian and
foreign authors and his commentaries on present-day literature. (Mircea Martin)
