Keywords: Junimea; literary criticism; aesthetic autonomy; conservatorism; literature-centricity;
Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes some tendencies and variations of Junimea’s critical and historiographical image, starting from the reference study on the topic written by Tudor Vianu in 1944. One of our main objectives here is to discuss the distinctive types of Junimea’s reception, which was either wholesome – as a unitary group with homologous members and constant ideological-philosophical background -, or dissociated and preferential, singling out the mentor Maiorescu and alloting him the prestige of founder of the aesthetic autonomy in Romanian criticism.
