The Cohen Paradox Between Reason and Feeling, Astrid-Simone Groszler,

  Lucrarea propune o abordare interdisciplinara, din perspectiva criticii culturale, un demers inedit pentru  a face cunoscut publicului romanesc personalitatea lui Cohen din dubla perspective de poet si musician. Cercetarea este extrem de bine documentata, respectând toate exigentele unui volum de critica si istorie literara, de un real interes nu doar pentru cei interesati de cultura populara si literatura anglofona, cât si pentru un public mai larg.

Leonard Cohen is in our opinion the perfect paradox. The title of the present paper places him “between reason and feeling.” In the following we will try to place not just his life but also his work “in between”.

 The paper proposes an interdisciplinary approach, from the perspective of cultural criticism, a unique approach to make known to the Romanian public the personality of Cohen from the double perspectives of poet and musician. The research is extremely well documented, respecting all the exigencies of a volume of literary criticism and history, of a real interest not only for those interested in popular culture and English literature, but also for a wider audience.
