Panorama of Bulgarian literature

Our contemporary literary science and criticism already highlights figures who, in terms of the significance of their creative results, not only equal the objective value of what was achieved in the past by our most significant literary critics and historians, but also point to a higher, qualitatively new ideological and aesthetic development. Among them, Pantelei Zarev stands out with a true aesthetic feeling and the penetration of his research talent. The first volume of his new work "Panorama of Bulgarian Literature" is the beginning of a remarkable phenomenon in our contemporary literary science. It clearly reveals the peculiarities of Zarev's method and style as a literary critic and historian, and his great contribution to the construction of a Marxist, scientific history of Bulgarian literature, interpreting the literary process in its complexity and contradictions, with a view to its internal aesthetic laws, stands out convincingly.
