"Maria Dinu chose a difficult theme, complex due to the very scope of the studied author, but also due to its contextual and geographical implications. The author respects the major lines of Marino's project, but does not absolutize it, follows it until the more or less complete phases of realization, all the time also taking into account the temperamental implications, the presence of the empirical subject. The analysis of Marino's work is structured around three biographical hypostases, therefore the research focuses on tracing the influences and biographical inflections on the work as a whole and, in particular, on the purely theoretical section. Maria Dinu's book represents a personal approach to the work and the figure of Adrian Marino, undertaken with a critical spirit and interpretive talent, being a genuine contribution of criticism and literary history."
