Literary criticism was quite active in this period. Life in Romania, edited by Gabriel Illianu (187 1~ 1936), is influenced by populism and advocates national democratic realism literature. The magazine Elf, edited by Oloviscu (1881~1943), advocates innovation, fully accepts the latest western literary forms, and opposes writing literary works with rural themes. Other famous literary critics are M La Liea (1896 ~1964), Joe Klinescu (1899~ 1965) and Tu Vianu (1897 ~/kloc-).
At this time, novel creation also entered a prosperous period. It has a wide range of research objects, and many works have appeared to analyze the psychological activities of characters. Mi Sadovi Anu's novels (1880~ 196 1) depict the images of peasants, fishermen, workers and ordinary citizens who resist oppression, with strong Moldovan local color. His historical novels reflect the Romanian people's hard struggle to resist foreign aggression and safeguard national survival, and occupy an important position in the history of literature. Leibnu (1885~ 1944) is one of the founders of Romanian modern novels. He wrote three novels, including Ions. In addition, famous novels include The Last Night of Love, The First Night of War (1930) and The Bed of kuster (1933), all of which describe intellectuals. Che petrescu's novel Black Gold (1892~ 196 1) reflects the miserable life of oil workers. Klinescu's novel The Secret of Otillia (1938) exposes the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie. The novel Bach Concert (1927) by the female writer Huo Papadat Bengerscu (1876~ 1955) is famous for its detailed description of the protagonist's psychological state.
The representative writer of early Romanian proletarian literature was Ya Sahia (1908~ 1937). His short stories Living Factory (1932) and Port Riot (1932) describe the process of workers' spontaneous struggle to organize against capitalist exploitation. In terms of poetry, the main poets are Tu Arghe (1880~ 1967), Joe Bacovia and Yi barbu (1895 ~ 19 1) and Lu Braga (1).
Various literary trends in the west are reflected in poetry creation, and the forms of poetry are also innovated, and free verse begins to appear. At this time, drama creation has also made some achievements.
