This paper analyzes the dense correspondence between the young Romanian poet Iulia Hasdeu, living with her mother in Paris for study purposes, and her father Bogdan Petriceicu, leading figure in the intellectual life of Romania in the second half of the 19th century. This massive epistolary, is presented as a compact whole and thus takes the form of an ongoing dialogue between a parent and her daughter, a document about which personal and subjective assessments can be made, but which has the undisputed merit of rendering a reality, beyond the more official aspects, in its domestic dimension.
