| Abstract: | The article analyses Mateiu I. Caragiale’s work in the light of the modern relationship between strangeness and beauty, which, pointed out by Edgar Allan Poe (‘there is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion’), and, later, Baudelaire (‘Le Beau este toujours bizarre’), was made into a critical principle by Harold Bloom’s The Western Canon. Taking into account the modern equivalence between eccentricity and literary value, the writing of Mateiu Caragiale reveals the fundaments of its power of fascination and establishes its relevance as a turning point for the Romanian literature as an aesthetic phenomenon. |
