Bulgarian poem from 1733.

The beginning of New Bulgarian poetry is usually associated with the first decades of the 19th century, with the names of Dimitar Popski, G. T. Peshakov, and others. It is also accepted that "new Bulgarian poetry arose outside the traditions of medieval literature. The writers who in the 19th century laid the foundation for modern Bulgarian poetry neither knew Slavic-Bulgarian poetry nor learned from it. Their gaze was directed towards other models - Russian, French, Greek, Serbian, Romanian poetry, on the one hand, and Bulgarian folk song, on the other".1 Of course, it is correct to believe that new Bulgarian poetry did not develop in isolation, on its own, but in close contact with the poetry of neighboring and more distant European peoples - Russian, Serbian, Greek, Romanian, French, etc., from which it was enriched both in form and content.
