Now to Romania with Roxana Patraș (and Antonio Patraș in spirit)!
The first Romanian novel to be published in feuilleton is *Pustnicul* by Graf Valberg (pseudonym) in *Propăşirea* in 1844.
This was the first moment of synchronization of Romanian literature (with French literature?)

She has found assemblage theory very fruitful to use Phelps's non-fiction periodical publications to provide insight into her literary works.
