%0 Journal Article %T The face of the man behind the poet Tudor Arghezi %A Mirel ANGHEL %J Studii de Stiinta si Cultura %D 2011 %I Vasile Goldis Western University, Arad %X According to a so-called autobiographical article published in 1941, Tudor Arghezi¡¯schildhood was nothing but a painful age¡± of his life. Literary history doesn¡¯t mention much abouthis childhood and adolescence. When asked, he refused to give further information about his life.His work only shows signs of a tumultuous life experience. In some of Tudor Arghezi¡¯s poems andnovels his mother is an iconic character. This is a compensation for her anonimous biographicalidentity. His biography is more like a literary work because of the poet¡¯s continuous effort to createan identity which did not remind him of his true, unpleasant past experience. %K Tudor Arghezi %K Ion Theodorescu %K biography %K poet %K studies %U http://www.revista-studii-uvvg.ro/images/stories/27/12%20Anghel.pdf
