În întâmpinarea bicentenarului Alecsandri în cea dintâi reconstituire genealogică

Abstract

Corollary of long searches, researches and readings in archives or libraries, this article represents the first genealogical reconstruction, dedicated to Vasile Alecsandri. Undertaken in the direction of both the paternal branch (Alecsandri) and the maternal branch (Cozoni), the respective genealogy mentions the poet’s ascendants, his descendants, as well as collateral relatives. Having the chance to capitalize on information that - as will be seen - the other biographers of the poet could not have in their time, we focused both on clarifying some controversial issues regarding the origin of the poet, and on correcting errors, confusions and inadvertencies encountered in older studies and articles, or even in literary histories, biographies and monographs .In the final sequence, intended for the usual Conclusions, we highlighted the innovative character of the research, meant to clarify some moments of the poet’s existential path, certainly the most complex and fascinating in our entire literature.
