Етико-естетическите послания на викторианската детска литература
Ethical and Aesthetical Messages of Children’s Literature of the Victorian Era

Summary/Abstract: The ideological clichés of the recent past made of the children’s literature of the Victorian era something that has become aesthetically and morally obsolete and unnecessary. Still, these books, being unities of text and pictures, are as popular as ever to this day, promoting lofty moral ideals for a child, a standard of decent conduct as a bearer of traditional moral values. The article shows how, though grafted on to Bulgarian cultural soil and strongly rendered Bulgarian at times, they convey messages, that continue to be significant even in the post-modern age, confirming the idea of the identity between the ethical and aesthetical, between the morally and the artistically significant as opposed to ethical relativism.
