Каравеловата белетристика в контекста на Каравеловите периодични издания
Karavelov fiction in the context of Karavelov periodicals

(The specific of interconnections between genres)

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses mainly on the relationship between Karavelov’s works of fiction and non-fiction texts published on the pages of “Freedom”, “Independence” and “Knowledge”. The specifics of these relationships – their direction and nature allows outlining some dependencies between the different types of materials, especially in terms of genre. The careful study of the texts contained in the edited by Karavelov periodicals led to conclusions that can be formulated generally as follows: 1. One of the possible reasons for the existence of a “publicist manner of writing” in the stories and novels of Karavelov can be found in his active work as a journalist, but not in the “syncretic genre consciousness” of the era; 2. An assessment of the artistic skill of Karavelov, based on the presence of “publicist stream” in his works, is illegal; 3. The presence of links not only between fiction and journalistic works of Karavelov, but also between fictional texts on the one hand, and some memoirs and poems, on the other, is talking about a subjugation of the whole work of the writer of a particular purpose, about his interest in several main themes presenting in his early works, and in those of recent years. The summary of the article is in the direction of the claim that “genre impurities” in Karavelov’s fiction is a consequence of a synchronous work on various types of texts and of a deliberate quest for polyfunctionality in literature – a characteristic typical for the period of European Enlightenment.
