Medelenismul lui Teodoreanu, între concept și stil literar

In Romanian literature, the name of IonelTeodoreanu is synonymous with the trilogy La Medeleni, a novel that enshrines him in the gallery of interwar prose writers. The reading public appreciates the novel and Teodoreanu becomes the symbol of a generation. Literary criticism talks about the concept of Medellinism which defines a far too lyrical, deeply metaphorical novel, a writing with obvious autobiographical sequences, although the author never admitted this.Over time, IonelTeodoreanu attracted the attention of literary critics not only through the form and content of his works, but especially through his literary style, through the otherwise successful trend of poeticizing the narrative. Rightly considered the writer of childhood and adolescence, Teodoreanu experiences the heights of success, respectively the decline from the point of view of the value of his works. If La Medeleni represents the peak of his inspiration, the novels that followed do not rise to the same value, although the author took into account the observations of literary critics to write objectively, without lyrical influences.
