Mărțișor House is located in the Văcărești neighborhood of București/Bucharest.
Arghezi is credited with the invention of a type of poetic novel, "the tablet" (tableta) and something called "the ticket" (biletul), never well defined.
His political beliefs fluttered with the wind:
He took holy orders in the Cernica Monastery/mănăstirea Cernica in 1899 but quickly tired of being a priest.
He claimed to be a pacifist during WW1 but wrote for a pro-German newspaper.
He wrote for left-wing magazines such as Dimineața and Adevărul while simultaneously expressing staunchly monarchist views and support for King Carol II (1893-1953).
According to some, Arghezi developed a sympathy for the Iron Guard/Garda de fier towards the end of the 1930s (his poem Făt-Frumos was contended to be a homage to the movement's leader, Corneliu Zieliński aka Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (1899-1938).
He was a loyal Communist Party member as well, when it suited him.
An English translation of his work came out in 1976: Michael Impey, Brian Swann "Selected Poems of Tudor Arghezi" (Princeton University Press).
