  Abstract:  I am trying to present in this paper the image of the Romanian peasant as it appears in the work of a representative writer of the 19th century: Vasile Alecsandri. Or, happily for us, the peasant is an important character in Alecsandri’s writings. I excluded the pleys from this research. In other words I have studied correspondence, poetry and prose. The multishape image of the peasant can be structured in few independent topics. Thus, I have identified the topics of the oppressed peasant, the hero peasant, the picturesque peasant, the real peasant (in correspondence) and finally the good peasant. In Vasile Alecsandri’s work the dominant dimension of the peasant’s image is a positive one. We are here in the paradigm of the identitary peasant, that as we know now is not unique in the 19th century.

Keywords: literature, 19th century, peasant, image of peasant, history
