Plamen Antov. “Love and Fatherland. Studies on Bulgarian Revival Literature and Culture”

Summary/Abstract: Plamen Antov’s “Love and Fatherland. Studies on Bulgarian Revival Literature and Culture” innovatively interprets Bulgarian Revival literature as a national-ideological metanarrative that shapes collective memory. The monograph is an ambitious endeavor to reconceptualize the Bulgarian Revival through contemporary comparative literary, cultural-anthropological, and philosophical-historical methodologies. The book advances new readings of both canonical and marginal texts, investigating the tensions between popular and elite discourses, national and universal paradigms. The text also explores the interweaving of intimate motifs – love and eroticism – with the national ideal of duty to the fatherland within Revival culture. By situating more and lesser-known Bulgarian texts in dialogue with European and American literary contexts, the author makes a significant contribution to the field of Revival studies.
