Eugen Lovinescu (1881-1943) was a Romanian historian, literary critic and novelist, who in 1919 established the Sburatorul literary club.
Synthesis works: Modern Romanian civilisation history (I-III), Romanian contemporary literature history (I-IV), Critics (10 volumes), Memories (I-III). He wrote also prose, probably most famous are the two novels about Eminescu's erothical life: Mite (1934) and Balauca (1935), having as heroines Mite Kremnitz and Veronica Micle.
Lovinescu and Zeletin, as well as Ralea, believed that Orthodox Church did not serve the national interests because it would have denied its proper Romanian substance.
Lovinescu named it "the most active ferment of the orientalization of Romania" and considered it an "obscurantist religion stuck in dogmas and formalism"3 which had imposed on the Romanian people a foreign language, (Slavon) and had thrown the people into the "Slavic sea" which had almost swallowed them.
Lovinescu considered that the only chance to achieve this purpose was to synchronize Romanian society to the West through a process of imitation.
