His numerous monographs include: His last book "1000 de ani de cultura română" (Romanian 1000 Years of Romanian Culture), a study of the history, culture and influence of Romania's greatest artistic achievements between 14th to 19th centuries, was published in 2008.

He is one of the major figures in Romanian literary history and methodology. He has also kept up his public persona as a critic, essayist and translator.He is the co-founder of the Center for Eastern European Studies (CEES). After completing his doctoral thesis on Lucian Blaga, Manolescu turned to cultural studies, publishing several books on Romanian culture before embarking upon a comprehensive study of Romanian literature. He studied various periods of Romanian history and culture, examining their influence on artistic production. While demonstrating ample knowledge of Romanian literature’s diverse styles and periods, Manolescu also frequently turns historical context into an important premise for artistic evaluation. He is particularly instrumental in uncovering the connection between spiritual and literary values in Romanian literature. Manolescu’s “Evolutia stilului românesc” (The Evolution of Romanian Style), published in 1965 and co-authored by former Soviet dissident and eminent historian Răzvan Theodorescu, was a milestone in translating the pseudoscientific concepts associated with Marxist historiography into a language accessible for a broader audience. The work became an important reference point for Romanian literary criticism under Ceauşescu, when Manolescu was personally accused of organizing a counter-revolutionary network. cfa1e77820
