Alex Drace-Francis is Associate Professor of the Literary and Cultural History of Modern Europe at the University of Amsterdam.
'An enormously erudite study... for anyone interested in the origins of modern Romanian literary production and education in the context of the Enlightenment, modernization, and state-formation this is an indispensable book.' - Irina Livezeanu, author of Culture and Politics in Greater Romania, in the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies; 'Alex Drace-Francis has produced a highly accurate and often outstandingly subtle piece of research. This British scholar observes things that his Romanian colleagues, being too familiar with them, have tended to overlook' - Ovidiu Pecican, Observator cultural; 'Solid and extremely well informed, Alex Drace-Francis's book not only brings together a great mass of information and hypotheses, but also asks important questions about a cultural legacy whose investigation is still plagued by stereotypes.' - Mircea Anghelescu, Romanian review of book history
