Българските литературни меланхолии
Bulgarian literary melancholy

Summary/Abstract: This item analyses the historical development of Melancholy as one of the main poetic state in the Bulgarian literature during the 19th and in the early 20th century. Melancholy is an individual state of mind, a personal experience of being. The presence of Melancholy in the Bulgarian literature is a sign that the subjective and the emotional states modify to a great extent. These psychological changes reflect the collective fears and the oppressiveness in the social environment. The lyric person in the Bulgarian Renaissance Poetry has not yet turned his individuality into an independent object of an existential experience. Melancholy in that poetry is caused by some social disappointments and a foreign romantic adoption. In the early 20th century the Bulgarian literature will be living through her decadence, when the foreign and the own melancholies will render influence over the Bulgarian modernism.
