Mac Linscott Ricketts's Mircea Eliade: The Romanian Roots, 1907 to 1945, published by East European Monographs in 1988, is the detailed scholarly study of Eliade's early Romanian period, including his interwar journalism, that later arguments about Eliade's relationship to the fascist Legionary movement largely rest on. Its authority rests on Ricketts's direct archival research into that period, conducted with Eliade's own cooperation as his biographer. Because Eliade himself assisted the project, it is worth reading alongside more critical, independent accounts of the same period rather than as the sole word on a still debated question.
