Preocupat indeosebi de studiul curentelor, al miscarilor de idei literare, Z. Ornea este, in critica noastra, un exponent activ al orientarii sociologice pe care doreste s-o ilustreze in spiritul actiunii purtate in critica franceza de un Lucien Goldmann. Metoda criticului e de a stabili intai tendinta social-istorica fundamentala, dupa care isi dezvolta consideratiile asupra obiectului propriu-zis al explorarii. (Gabriel Dimisianu)


Mostly preoccupied with the study of currents, of the movement of literary ideas, Z. Ornea is in the Romanian criticism an active mouthpiece of the sociological orientation, which he wishes to illustrate in the spirit of the action taken in the French criticism by Lucien Goldmann. The critic's method is to first establish the historical-social fundamental tendency, and then to develop his considerations on the actual object of his exploration. (Gabriel Dimisianu)
