*** Ganka Naydenova-Stoilova: “The Romantic Image - a Symbol of the Creator”

On June 23, 1966, the Scientific Council at the Institute of Literature also discussed the work of senior research fellow Ganka Naydenova "The Romantic Image - a Symbol of the Creator". In his written review, Professor Stefan Stanchev made a detailed description of the work. According to him, Naydenova's work represents an original scientific study with a contributing character. The author's concepts are built on rich material from all of Western European literature. The material is treated originally with a view to the author's thesis. During the discussion of G. Naydenova's work, the following spoke: Professor Emil Georgiev, Professor Stoyan Karolev, senior research fellow Minko Nikolov, academician M. Arnaudev, senior research fellow Krastvo Genov and the director of the institute Stoyko Bozhkov. The speeches emphasized the importance of the topic, the richness of the material on which the work is built and the original analyses and author's concepts. It was emphasized that the work has contribution. The speakers made some recommendations: greater unification and stretching of the material in view of the central theme; greater precision of some formulations; the chapter on Bulgarian literature to be dropped because it feels artificially attached. In his closing remarks, the director of the institute, Stoyko Bozhkov, recommended that the author take into account the wishes made and unify the material in view of the topic set, to direct her attention to the concepts she deals with and which characterize phenomena that are different in their genesis.
