Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to show that Charles Baudelaire’s aesthetics,that of Stéphane Mallarmé, Arthur Rimbaud, and generallyspeaking the entire French poetics and aesthetics have had agreat influence upon Romanian modern poetry. In the light ofFrench poetry dominated by experimentalism, dehumanization,obscurity, absurd, limitation, fragmentation, and dreams,Romanian poets such as George Bacovia, Tudor Arghezi, Lucian Blaga, and Ion Barbu develop a new kind of modern poetry. A parallel analysis between the four Romanian poets will show different approaches to the dichotomy identity-alterity, where the poetic I is sometimes separated from, sometimes associated with the other. While modern Romanian poetry was directly influenced by French poetry, it grew into new visions coming from an archetypal Romanian spirituality.
