Also in 1903, Nicolae Iorga became one of the managers of "Sămănătorul" review. The moment brought Iorga's emancipation from Maiorescu's influence, his break with mainstream "Junimism", and his affiliation to the traditionalist, ethno-nationalist and neoromantic current encouraged by the magazine. The "Sămănătorist" school was by then also grouping other former or active "Junimists", and Maiorescu's progressive withdrawal from literary life also created a bridge with "Convorbiri Literare": its new editor, Simion Mehedinți, was himself a theorist of traditionalism. A circle of "Junimists" more sympathetic to Maiorescu's version of conservatism reacted against this realignment by founding its own venue, "Convorbiri Critice", edited by Mihail Dragomirescu.
