Henric Sanielevici

Henric Sanielevici was a Romanian journalist and literary critic, also remembered for his work in anthropology, ethnography, sociology and zoology. Initially a militant socialist from the politicalphilosophical circle of Constantin DobrogeanuGherea, he incorporated other influences and, in 1905, created his own literary review, Curentul Nou . Sanielevici and his friend Garabet Ibrileanu were among the founders of Poporanism, a peasantoriented and leftwing movement. However, Sanielevici soon detached himself from both Marxism and Agrarianism, criticizing Romanian traditionalist literature, and prophesying a Neoclassicism for the working men. His heated polemic with the rival school of Smntorul journal isolated him from the other Poporanists, whom he eventually denounced as reactionaries. More controversy surrounded his ambiguous attitudes during World War I.
