Titu Maiorescu<\/p>\n

An influential politician, lawyer, literary critic, essayist, philosopher and pedagogue, Titu Liviu Maiorescu played an important role for Romanian culture, being the founder of modern Romanian literary critique.<\/p>\n

This year marks the 100th<\/sup> anniversary of Titu Maiorescu\u2019s passing, an emblematic personality of the Romanian cultural and political life at the end of the 19th<\/sup> century and the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

Romfilatelia<\/strong> commemorates the Titu Maiorescu, 100 years since his death<\/em><\/strong>, on June 19, through the postage stamp issue bearing his name.<\/p>\n

Member of the Romanian Academy and one of the remarkable figures of the time, leader of the Literary Society \u201cJunimea\u201d and of the journal \u201cLiterary Conversations\u201d, he developed an impressive teaching career at the \u201cVasile Lupu\u201d Normal School and \u201cAl. I. Cuza\u201d University, where he was also the rector.<\/p>\n

The activity for which Titu Maiorescu remains acknowledged is founding the \u201cJunimea\u201d cultural society with Petre P. Carp, Vasile Pogor, Theodor Rosetti and Iacob Negruzzi, in 1863. They would be joined by personalities such as Alecsandri, Eminescu, Creanga, Caragiale, Slavici, but also representatives of other fields than that of literature, such as memorialist Gh. Panu, linguist Al. Philippide, philosopher Vasile Conta, historian of A.D. Xenopol, according to the ministry, \u201canyone may join, anyone who can, may stay\u201d. What united Junimea<\/em>\u2019s members was to direct Romanian culture to a new stage, to eliminate mediocrity and to promote writers of definitive value. The role of Junimea<\/em> imposed new directions in Romanian literature as early as the second half of the 19th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

Titu Maiorescu would become a literary guide and critic through his studies and articles, and his work \u201cCritical research on Romanian poetry from 1867<\/em>\u201d is considered a reference work for Romanian aesthetics.<\/p>\n

His impressive personality influenced the most important fields of Romania\u2019s cultural, social and political life, Titu Maiorescu being the author of the famous sociological theories of \u201cthe ungrounded forms\u201d and the \u201cfoundation stone\u201d on which were built the works of Mihai Eminescu, Ion Luca Caragiale or Ioan Slavici. Due to the recognition of his intellectual qualities, Maiorescu has an impressive trajectory: at 22 years old a university professor, a dean at 23 and a rector at the same age, an academician (member of the Romanian Academic Society) at 27, deputy at 30, and a 34-year-old minister.<\/p>\n

The ideas for the process of perfecting the Romanian literary language, formulated by Maiorescu, were accepted by the Romanian Academy between 1880 and 1881, which appropriated these principles, greatly contributing to the unification of the modern Romanian language.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the 19th<\/sup> century, with the Union of the Principalities, Romania was in the midst of political change, which led to the conquest and recognition of independence opening the way for the modernization of the state.<\/p>\n

A convinced supporter of the unity of the young Romanian state, Titu Maiorescu, pursued an intensive political activity as a journalist in the pages of the \u201cNational Voice\u201d newspaper in 1866.<\/p>\n

Being of conservative orientation, Titu Maiorescu served as prime minister and then foreign minister (1912-1914), when the Bucharest Peace Treaty was signed. Although he did not manage to pass through Parliament any of his bills on education, among his achievements as a minister we mention: the development of education in the villages through the establishment of new schools, the initiation of surveys and statistics on education, the building of school buildings, selection of the best Romanian language study books for the high school, projects for setting up the Polytechnic School, botanical gardens, a department of Romanian language, preservation of the national patrimony, support for the Romanian schools in Transylvania.<\/p>\n

The stamp with the face value of Lei 4.50<\/strong> illustrates, alongside the portrait of the great literary critic, o page of the magazine \u201cConvorbiri Literare\u201d (Literary conversations), a flagship publication of the Junimea<\/em> Literary Society.<\/p>\n

The stamp with the face value of Lei 8<\/strong> portrays the great man of culture and politician that was Titu Maiorescu.<\/p>\n

Through his entire activity, which covered virtually all areas of cultural, social and political life, Titu Maiorescu had remarkable contributions to the development of Romanian society in the context of the values of Western civilization.<\/p>\n
