| description | The current study focuses on the presence of the Italian classic authors Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio
in the period from the National Liberation to the end of World War I.
The reception scope after the National Liberation is actually hard to trace and some surprising findings might appear
on the horizon, especially regarding the scattered in periodicals texts. The published translated books are not indicative of the
reception range during the analyzed period and they constitute only a small part of it. A large number of works by the most
popular authors reached the Bulgarian audience through translations published in periodicals, textbooks and anthologies.
Moreover, a lot of translated works did not appear in specialized philological publications, but in the literary sections and
serials of daily newspapers.
As early as the first decade after the Liberation, the classics missing from the Revival catalogue of translated
literature started to appear. The Bulgarian reader became acquainted with the sporadic works of authors studied at school like
Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Torquato Tasso, Ludovico Ariosto, Carlo Goldoni, Vittorio Alfieri, Giacomo Leopardi and Ugo
Foscolo.
In the defined period, the classic authors were not among the most influential translated Italian writers for the
Bulgarian audience during the epoch. This is evidenced by the limited distribution of Konstantin Velichkov’s translation of
Inferno, which managed to attract the interest of only a small circle of intellectuals.
A main reception factor is the taste of the reading audience, which predominantly in the postliberation conditions
still lacked structured esthetic criteria and preferred more common and comprehensible literature. |
