Stamati is an enlightened mind that breathes new life into Romanian lyrical style, in imitation of writers tight while retaining a great deal of originality of his writings. He is among the first writers who predicts the value of Romanian folklore and exploit it in a fabulous epic. C. Stamati inserted in his fantastic elements, the macabre type, a "painter Sint învălmăşelii and colors of humor" as distinguished literary critic G. Călinescu comparable of Eminescu. His work universe is populated with heroes, fairies, Tricolici, angels and demons, and epic passages abound with beautiful descriptions.
