Constantin George Sandulescu (11 February 1933, Bucharest[1] – 27 October 2018, Monte Carlo[2]) was a Joycean scholar,[3] but in the first place, he was a linguist with twelve years' experience in the Department of Theoretical Linguistics of the University of Stockholm in the 1970s and 1980s, specializing in Discourse Analysis.
He has lived, worked,[6] and conducted research and teaching in major institutions in Romania, Sweden, Great Britain, the United States and Italy.
[7] After the death in 1983 of Princess Grace of Monaco, he substantially assisted in founding the Monaco library bearing her name,[8] and organised important International Conferences[9] there devoted to James Joyce (1985 and 1990), William Butler Yeats (1987), Samuel Beckett (1991), and Oscar Wilde (1993).
[10] On the invitation of Prince Rainier III, and together with the British writer Anthony Burgess, also a resident of Monaco, George Sandulescu was one of the founders of the Princess Grace Irish Library of Monaco—the fundamental purpose of which was to publish literary criticism in two distinct series of publications, produced by Colin Smythe Ltd., of Gerrards Cross.
George Sandulescu attended most James Joyce Conventions, Conferences and get-togethers which took place in Europe (and some of them in the United States) between the years 1975 and 1990.
