This article presents Alexandru Macedonskiʼs contribution to Romanian literature concerning the promotion of new literary tendencies – at the beginning in those times – Symbolism and Parnassianism. In this study I brought into discussion the vocation of “Mecenas poet” that Macedonski had in the literary space of Bucharest after the foundation of the society Literatorul. I also presented in this paper the Macedonskiʼs conception on versification. His ideas were published in the pages of the magazine “Literatorul”, in the colection entitled Arta versurilor. I highlighted here his activity as a promoter and guider in the Romanian literary space, because this is a quality that makes him radically different from his contemporaries.
