CRITICAL REMARCS ON THE CONCEPT OF THE ODESA LITERARY CIRCLE
-
ABSTRACT
The text sets forth a critique of the concept of the Odesa Literary Circle, which has been widely employed in studies of the Bulgarian National Revival literature to typologically characterise the intellectual life of Bulgarians studying in Odesa during the 1840s. It reexamines the literary careers of Dimitar Mutev, Elena Muteva, Nayden Gerov and Dobri Chintulov and suggests that there is insufficient factual evidence to substantiate the relevance of the two main components underlying this concept: organised literary life and literariness.
