Samson Bodnărescu

Samson L. Bodnărescu (June 27, 1840 – 1902) was a Romanian poet.

He was a member of the cultural society Junimea and his poetry often reflected his idealistic philosophical views. This was demonstrated in the tragedy Rienzi, (1868) which was inspired by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and later Lăpușneanu-vodă (1878–1879),
