  Abstract:  Troubled Heritage. Monica Lovinescu and the Aesthetical Tradition in Romanian Literary Historiography. This paper briefly analyzes Monica Lovinescu’s literary criticism in the context of the Romanian critical and historiographical tradition represented by such personalities as E. Lovinescu and G. Călinescu. It looks into some of her position takings regarding the configuration of the literary field and the status of the aesthetical criterion in the Romanian criticism of the 1960s- late 1980s. The analysis concludes with the foregrounding of the ethical principle, emphasized by the Romanian critic in exile as an essential requirement for a writer working in a totalitarian regime.

Key words: Monica Lovinescu, criticism, literary history, tradition, literary field, communism, aesthetical criterion, ethic value
