Radu Florescu

Radu Florescu (born 23 October, 1925) is a Romanian academic who holds the position of Emeritus Professor of History at Boston College. He was Director of the East European Research Center at Boston College.

Florescu was born in Bucharest. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Christ Church, Oxford in Great Britain, before moving to the United States, where he completed his Ph.D. at Indiana University.

He has written many academic articles and books on Romanian history. He is the author (or co-author with Raymond T. McNally) of several other books on Romanian and East European history, including "Essays on Roumanian History", "The Struggle against Russia in the Romanian Principalities", "Dracula: Prince of Many Faces", "In Search of Dracula", and "In Search of Frankenstein".

From 1996 to 2004, Florescu served as Honorary Consul for New England by the Romanian Foreign Ministry, the first person to be appointed to such a position in the United States. His first job as honorary consul was to oversee voting by Boston-area Romanian citizens in one of the first democratic Romanian elections since the Revolution of 1989. He is now Emeritus Honorary Consul.
