Eminescu et l’esprit transylvain
Eminescu and the Transylvanian Spirit

Summary/Abstract: Fascinated by Transylvania, Mihai Eminescu (1850–1889) sought to come into contact with its outstanding persona­lities and with the land itself, whose image would later leave an imprint upon his work. His contacts included Aron Pumnul, on whose death he wrote an ode, Andrei Mureşanu, and somewhat later Iosif Vulcan and the Metropolitan Bishop Andrei Șaguna. The present article looks at Eminescu’s travels across Transylvania. The author analyzes, on the one hand, the relations between this enlightening experienceand Eminescu’s debut as a journalist, and, on the other, the emergence of a particular sensitivity towards essential experiences, in a word, the foundations of Eminescu’s ideology.
