About N. Crevedia
- N.
- Crevedia (born Niculae Ion Cârstea; December 7, 1902 – November 5, 1978) was a Romanian journalist, poet and novelist, father of the writer-politician Eugen Barbu.
- Of Muntenian peasant roots, which shaped his commitment to agrarian and then far-right politics, as well as his dialectal poetry and humorous prose, he preferred bohemian life to an academic career.
- As a writer at Gândirea, Crevedia became a follower of Nichifor Crainic, and worked with him on various other press venues, from Calendarul to Sfarma-Piatra.
- Turning to fascism, he sympathized with the Iron Guard, and, in the late 1930s, contributed to the press campaigns vilifying ideological enemies, while also putting out novels, reportage pieces, and anthologies.
- His affair with the Iron Guard muse Marta Radulescu was at the center of a literary scandal, and was fictionalized by Crevedia in one of his novels. Fluent in Bulgarian, Crevedia became press attaché in the Kingdom of Bulgaria under the National Legionary State, serving to 1946.
- He was sidelined by the Romanian communist regime in the late 1940s and early '50s, when he was employed as a minor clerk.
- With his mentor Crainic, Crevedia contributed to the propaganda review Glasul Patriei.
- He was more fully recovered under national communism in the 1960s, and lived to see the communist ascendancy of his son Barbu.
- His rural-themed poetry, much of it echoing Tudor Arghezi, Ion Minulescu and Sergei Yesenin, was reprinted in various installments to 1977.
- It is regarded by critics as a minor but picturesque contribution to modern Romanian literature.
