Summary/Abstract: Dimitrie Bolintineanu is well-known in literature because of his usage of poetical, epical and satirical lyricism in his writings, prose or drama. This writer's efforts are for cultivating new literal forms, in the name of art of creation and some literal genres still not found in the literature of that time. G. Calinescu, in ,,The History of Romanian literature from origins to present' names him ,, the first Romanian poet who has the acoustic intention to value the word and he seeks for the word for what it suggests behind its boundaries and transforms the verse in just one aria. Bolintineanu is audile and mechanic and this is something linked more to modern poetry. He has a studied phonetism which translates the poetical idea straight forward, without any graphical associations. (G. Calinescu, 2003, page 271). His writings sing a very oriental type of beauty, managing to realize descriptive fragments of a very own refinement, but is impregnated of influences of fantastic. Conclusion: Dimitrie Bolintineanu is well-known in Romanian literature because of his encyclopaedic culture and his art of writing original lines which offers the possibility to have a poetical rhythm so as to outclass his ancestors and contemporans.
