Между историята, легендата и символа
Between History, Legend and Symbol

Summary/Abstract: The review presents an anthological selection of Bulgarian modernist dramas from the first three decades of the 20th century. The publication is the third volume of an ongoing project of the Institute of Literature – BAS entitled “Bulgarian Drama Outside the Canon”. The compilation, scientific commentary and reference material are the work of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Marieta Ivanova-Girginova (Institute of Literature) and Dr. Elizaria Ruskova (Sofia University). The volume includes the following works: the tragic poem “Tomiris” by Lyudmil Stoyanov (1924), the tragedy “Omurtag Khan” by Konstantin Mutafov (1925), the tale “Once upon a time...” by Nikolay Raynov (1922) and the tragedy “The Golden Cup” by Ivan Grozev (1907–1908). The review focuses mainly on the way in which the historical theme is symbolically abstracted in the form of a legend in the spirit of the late symbolist-Secession poetics of the magazine “Hyperion” (1922–1931).
