Summary/Abstract: This essay analyses several perspectives on the re-evaluation of Mihai Eminescu's personality during his own destiny inside the literary history he was part of. Our intention is to focus on several elements of the romantic destiny and to bring back to the attention of the researchers some characteristics of his personality, temperament and places the poet has sought as some protective places in which he can particularly live in his romantic manner. We will discover, once more, the so-called „myth of solitude" as a sign of Mihai Eminescu`s cultural nobility. We have many instruments approved in this sense, given by the numerous consecrated literary histories (from G. Călinescu or Edgar Papu to Zoe Dumitrescu-Buşulenga, Petru Creţia or Eugen Simion). Still, Eminescu as a "Concept" is due to be redefined and refreshed with new instruments, including memories, letters, diaries of his contemporary friends.
