The Romanian Revue with the subtitle Politisch-lit [t] erarian monthly was the Romanians' first German-language magazine for the German-speaking area . The Romanian Review was published in Budapest in July 1885 under the direction of the Banat Romanian Corneliu Diaconovich , then changed the place of publication to Reşița ( 1886 ) and Vienna ( 1889 ) for economic and political reasons . From 1893 it came under the title Romanian Yearbooks , with the subtitlePolitical-literary monthly under the direction of Peter Broşteanu in Sibiu and published in Timişoara in 1894 .
founding
After the independence war of 1877/78 of the Principality of Romania, the Romanians of the Banat and Transylvania increased their resistance to the nationality policy of the Budapest government , which denied them political rights, and expressed their affiliation with the Romanians in the Old Reich through language and culture .
In this context, the journalist, lawyer and politician Corneliu Diaconovich, who was born in Bocşa Montană , brought out the magazine Romanian Review, the first edition of which appeared in Budapest in July 1885. Over time, it changed its place of appearance several times. When moving from Vienna to Sibiu it was renamed “Romanian Yearbooks” with the subtitle Political-Literary Monthly . The last year in Timisoara was published under this title.
Corneliu Diaconovich was both editor and editor . The magazine had a circulation of 800 to 1000 copies, of which about half went to subscribers, about 400 were sent abroad free of charge. The publisher received subsidies from the Romanian government in Bucharest , which is a clear indication that the revue was assigned an important role as a mediator between all areas inhabited by Romanians and other European countries from the point of view of the political leaders of the old Reich.
Programmatic focus
The programmatic focus of the magazine was to inform foreign countries about the literary, political and economic circumstances of Romanians in Hungary and the Kingdom of Romania . The editions of up to 64 pages were marked by a militant stance on the national question . The political pamphlet and the current political report were just as present as the commentary and the documentation . In addition to publicizing current issues of nationality policy, the most important objective of the Romanian Review was to spread and publicize Romanian culture and literature in the German-speaking area. She consistently published translations from Romanian folk poetry and from the then current Romanian literature. In its ten years, the revue campaigned with consistent persistence for the perception of contemporary Romanian literature in the literary life of the German-speaking area. The magazine also provided regular and comprehensive information on the German literature that came out in Romanian translations.
