Usurinta cu care se misca Gelu Ionescu in spatii culturale extrem de diverse, de la cultura antica la poezia medievala, de la literatura Renasterii la romanul modern, il recomanda nu doar ca pe un stralucit discipol al lui Tudor Vianu, dar si ca pe un varf al noii generatii comparatiste la noi: critic de idei, spirit analitic si speculativ, eseist subtil, interpret ingenios al unor capodopere. (Mircea Zaciu)


The ease Gelu Ionescu displays in moving about such varied cultural spaces, from ancient civilizations to medieval poetry, from the literature of the Renaissance to the modern novel, recommends him not only as an eminent disciple of Tudor Vianu, but also as a leader of our new generation of comparatists: a critic of ideas, with an analytic and speculative mind, a subtle essayist, an ingenious interpreter of masterpieces.
