The Fate of the Young Generation and the Legacy of Criterion. 330 $aIn 1930s Bucharest, some of the country's most brilliant young intellectuals converged to form the Criterion Association. Bound by friendship and the dream of a new, modern Romania, their members included historian Mircea Eliade, critic Petru Comarnescu, Jewish playwright Mihail Sebastian and a host of other philosophers and artists. Together, they built a vibrant cultural scene that flourished for a few short years, before fascism and scandal splintered their ranks. Cristina Bejan asks how the far-right Iron Guard came to eclipse the appeal of liberalism for so many of Romania's intellectual elite, drawing on diaries, memoirs and other writings to examine the collision of culture and extremism in the interwar years. The first English-language study of Criterion and the most thorough to date in any language, this book grapples with the complexities of Romanian intellectual life in the moments before collapse. 410 0$aModernity, Memory and Identity in South-East Europe,$x2523-7993 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aCultural History 606 $aIntellectual History 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 14$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 676 $a320.533092 676 $a949.802 700 $aBejan$b Cristina A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225727 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484102403321 996 $aIntellectuals and Fascism in Interwar Romania$92845851 997 $aUNINA
