Summary/Abstract: Taking into consideration both the antisemitic context of its production and the political engagements of the authors, this paper proposes an investigation of the divergent perspectives within interwar Jewish-Romanian literature and its reception. Intending to revive certain marginal figures, often overshadowed by better-known authors such as Mihail Sebastian or Max Blecher, I conceived my analysis mainly referring to Ury Benador, Isac Peltz and Ion Cãlugãru.
