Lucian Boz
Lucian Boz (; also rendered as Lucien Boz; November 9, 1908 – March 14, 2003) was a Romanian literary critic, essayist, novelist, poet and translator. Raised in Bucharest, he had a lawyer's training but never practiced, instead opting for a career in journalism and literary criticism. An active participant in the 1930s cultural scene, he theorized an empathetic and "enthusiastic" approach to literature, which was in tune with the avant-garde tendencies of his lifetime. After a stint editing the review ''Ulise'' in 1932–1933, he became a contributor to more major newspapers, including '' Adevărul'', '' Cuvântul Liber'', and '' Vremea''. Boz's Romanian career was cut short with the advent of a censorious authoritarian government in 1937. Moving to Paris, he settled into journalistic work there but was displaced by the German occupation, which saw him first join the French Resistance and then be interned at Drancy, where he was one of very few Jews to escape alive.

Viața Românească
''Viața Românească'' (, "The Romanian Life") is a monthly literary magazine published in Romania. Formerly the platform of the left-wing traditionalist trend known as poporanism, it is now one of the Writers' Union of Romania's main venues. The magazine, dedicated to literary and scientific issues, was published from March 1906 to August 1916 and from September 1920 to September 1940, first in Iași and then, after 1930, in Bucharest. The magazine was under the leadership of Constantin Stere (in charge of political content), Paul Bujor and, later, Ioan Cantacuzino (for scientific matters), Garabet Ibrăileanu (until 1933), Mihai Ralea and George Călinescu (for literary matters). Suppressed by the fascist National Legionary State in 1940, ''Viața Românească'' resumed publishing, first in a transitional form, from November 1944 to July 1946, when it was edited by Ralea.

Contimporanul
''Contimporanul'' (antiquated spelling of the Romanian language, Romanian word for "the Contemporary", singular masculine form) was a Romanian (initially a weekly and later a monthly) avant-garde Literary magazine, literary and art magazine, published in Bucharest between June 1922 and 1932. Edited by Ion Vinea, ''Contimporanul'' was prolific in the area of art criticism, dedicating entire issues to modern art phenomena, and organizing the Bucharest International Modern Art Exhibit in December 1924 (with the participation of Constantin Brâncuși). Several writers contributing to ''Contimporanul'' soon moved on to adopt more specific styles, including a literary form of Constructivism (art), constructivism (which was the dominant style of the magazine for a certain period), Dada, and, eventually, surrealism. History Seeing itself as a direct successor to ''Contemporanul'', it first advertised itself as a "social magazine", it became a voice for modernism in 1924, when it published ...

Adevărul Literar și Artistic
''Adevărul'' (; meaning "The Truth", formerly spelled ''Adevĕrul'') is a Romanian daily newspaper, based in Bucharest. Founded in Iași, in 1871, and reestablished in 1888, in Bucharest, it was the main left-wing press venue to be published during the Romanian Kingdom's existence, adopting an independent pro- democratic position, advocating land reform, and demanding universal suffrage. Under its successive editors Alexandru Beldiman and Constantin Mille, it became noted for its virulent criticism of King Carol I. This stance developed into a republican and socialist agenda, which made ''Adevărul'' clash with the Kingdom's authorities on several occasions. As innovative publications which set up several local and international records during the early 20th century, ''Adevărul'' and its sister daily ''Dimineața'' competed for the top position with the right-wing ''Universul'' before and throughout the interwar period. In 1920, ''Adevărul'' also began publishing its presti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Isac Ludo (1894–1973) was a Romanian writer and political figure. Born into a Jewish-Romanian family, Ludo was active in left-wing literary circles prior to World War II.

Sburătorul
''Sburătorul'' was a Romanian modernist literary magazine and literary society, established in Bucharest in April 1919. Led by Eugen Lovinescu, the circle was instrumental in developing new trends and styles in Romanian literature, ranging from a new wave of Romanian Symbolism to an urban-themed Realism and the Avant-garde. The review, subtitled ''Revista literară, artistică şi culturală'' ("The literary, artistic, and cultural review"), was published between April 1919 and May 1921, and again from March 1926 to June 1927 (a weekly magazine entitled ''Sburătorul Literar'' was published between September 1921 and December 1922). During its last period in print, ''Sburătorul'' engaged in a polemic with partisans of a more traditional style, especially figures grouped around the ''Sămănătorul'' magazine. Lovinescu himself argued against Nicolae Iorga's ethnocentric views on Romania in the Middle Ages. Name In Romanian mythology, '' Zburătorul'' (of which ''Sburătorul' ...

Walt Whitman
Walter Whitman (; May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection ''Leaves of Grass'', which was described as obscene for its overt sensuality. Born in Huntington on Long Island, Whitman resided in Brooklyn as a child and through much of his career. At the age of 11, he left formal schooling to go to work. Later, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, and a government clerk. Whitman's major poetry collection, ''Leaves of Grass'', was first published in 1855 with his own money and became well known. The work was an attempt at reaching out to the common person with an American epic. He continued expanding and revising it until his ...
