In 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 A. 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.
