THE LITERARY COLLECTION “THE CITY” (1922) IN THE CONTEXT OF THE REGIONAL LITERATURE OF THE YOUNGEST FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE 1920S

Abstract

The paper examines a literary edition that reflects the current dynamics of the Bulgarian literary processes from the 1920s – the collection “The City”, published in 1922 in Ruse and edited by collaborators of the Ruse magazine “Bright Dawns” (1921 – 1923). The authors included in the collection are all contributors to the magazine – enthusiastic young poets from the countryside who sought to create their own platforms for creative expression while still shaping their individual styles. The article explores the composition of the collection, highlights the aesthetic features characteristic of its texts, and analyzes the critical responses to the edition published in the periodical press of the time.
