Victor Ion Popa a fost un om de teatru și literat polivalent care a adus, prin opera sa dramatică, regizorală și pedagogică, o contribuție însemnată la evoluția teatrului românesc dintre cele două războaie mondiale.

Piesele sale alternează între tabloul idilic care face să dispară contradicțiile realității și drama sumbră, cu referire de critică socială, cu final ce alunecă spre tragic. Pentru tematică se refugiază în lumea burgheză, sătească, viața pitorească, sau în liniștea târgului patriarhal. Victor Ion Popa a considerat că piesele sale au nevoie de cultivarea tradiției patriarhale, respectiv de combatarea arivismului și a prostiei.

Ion Creangă was a Moldavian-born Romanian writer, raconteur and schoolteacher. A main figure in 19th century Romanian literature, he is best known for his Childhood Memories volume, his novellas and short stories, and his many anecdotes.

Like Swift or Mark Twain, Creangă is more than a story-teller for children or simply a humorist. His work is a human and social document of the ways of thinking and the life of a Romanian village in the ninetee

Mihail Sadoveanu was a Romanian novelist, short story writer, journalist and political figure, who twice served as acting head of state for the communist republic (1947–1948 and 1958). He is the most prolific novelist in Romanian literature and one of the most accomplished. All his major work, however, was written before the political changes in Romania following World War II. Although Sadoveanu remained a productive author after the war, like many other writers in communist countries, he had to adjust his aesthetic to meet the demands of the communist regime, and he wrote little of artistic value between 1945 and his death in 1961.
