A. The Literary Commentaries of Mihai EminescuThere are at least two literary commentaries on the poetry of Mihai Eminescu, one by George Călinescu and one by Emil Gârleanu Gârleanu's commentary is contained in his 1952 monograph "Moartea lui Eminescu", with an English translation published in 1959 as "Eminescue's Death" He called it a "death-loving belief", which can be taken to indicate that he believed the poet died with his ideals intact. In his own poem, "Moartea lui Mihai Eminescu", Gârleanu portrays Eminescu as a tragic figure who dies from a broken heart. In contrast, George Călinescu noted the poet's departure from traditional canons in his enthusiasm for freedom. In many ways, Călinescu saw Eminescu as a precursor to modernism, noting that the poems produced after 1878 were "formless" and that their author was free to reject traditional metrics and rhyme schemes. Overall, however, he considered Eminescu's work to be highly formulaic and stylistically conventional. Călinescu called Eminescu "a great minor poet", and noted that his personality and his style were more conventional than those of other writers of his era. He also argued that Eminescu was not truly a Romantic poet, considering him to be the first Romanian Symbolist instead. He saw the late poem "Strigătul" as a failed attempt at Symbolism, noting its similarity with the fragmentary poems of Charles Baudelaire or Arthur Rimbaud. Eminescu's late poetry has been described as "startling" by George Călinescu, who also noted that the poet was "utterly unformed. Far removed from the structures of tradition, his later works are often completely unordered and fragmentary". The critic continued: "There is no telling what he wrote. There are just drawings on paper." According to Iorga, Eminescu's later poetry represented the poet's attempt at "romanticizing his entire personality", describing it as "a morbid sentimentality" in which all previous themes are reworked in an attempt to perfect the self. Eminescu's contemporaries expressed mixed views about the value of his work. According to Iorga, the poet's modernist traits were "looked down upon" in his lifetime, while Călinescu argued that Eminescu was never properly understood by his contemporaries. Early assessments of Eminescu's poetry focused on its form. Thus, for example, literary theorist Titu Maiorescu wrote in 1883 that Eminescu had "no idea of poetic form". The same year, critic Zamfir Arbore called the poet's artistry "refined", but lacking in imagination and passion. cfa1e77820
