The present study, The Canon of Revolutionarist Criticism, continues Theodor Codreanu’s polemics towards Nicolae Manolescu’s attempt to impose a new canon in Romanian literature via the massive work Istoria critică a literaturii române (A Critical History of Romanian Literature) published in 2008. Many arguments of the critic from Husi are supported, developed and completed. The conclusion is that Mihai Eminescu remains a national poet, therefore he is the canon of Romanian literature which cannot be demolished by any evil-natured attempt.
