Who was Ovidiu Papadima?
Ovidiu Papadima was a Romanian literary critic, folklorist, and essayist.
He studied at the Alexandru Papiu Ilarian High School in Târgu Mureş, graduating at the top of his class in 1928.
He made his debut at age 23 in the literary magazine Gândirea, together with Tudor Vianu. He also wrote for Revista Fundaţiilor Regale. From 1937 to 1941, he held an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship, sponsored by the Foreign Office of Nazi Germany. He was on the Faculty at the University of Bucharest between 1941 and 1949.
After the establishment of the communist regime, Papadima was arrested in 1952 for "counterrevolutionary activities" and for his writings from the interbellic period. He was imprisoned at Calea Rahovei, Ghencea, Craiova, Poarta Albă, Gherla prison, and Jilava. Physically exhausted after this experience, he was released on October 7, 1955. Prevented from publishing for several years, he was politically rehabilitated in 1971.
He had two sons, Ştefan and Liviu.
