Bulgarian Literature as World Literature examines key aspects and manifestations of 20th- and 21st-century Bulgarian literature by way of the global literary landscape. The first volume to bring together in English the perspectives of prominent writers, translators, and scholars of Bulgarian literature and culture, this long-overdue collection identifies correlations between national and world aesthetic ideologies and literary traditions. It situates Bulgarian literature within an array of contexts and foregrounds a complex interplay of changing internal and external forces. These forces shaped not only the first collaborative efforts at the turn of the 20th century to insert Bulgarian literature into the world's literary repository but also the work of contemporary Bulgarian diaspora authors. Mapping histories, geographies, economies, and genetics, the contributors assess the magnitudes and directions of such forces in order to articulate how a distinctly national, "minor" literature--produced for internal use and nearly invisible globally until the last decade--transforms into world literature today.

In 1900, some 100,000 people living in Bulgaria—2 percent of the country’s population—could be described as Greek, whether by nationality, language, or religion. The complex identities of the population—proud heirs of ancient Hellenic colonists, loyal citizens of their Bulgarian homeland, members of a wider Greek diasporic community, devout followers of the Orthodox Patriarchate in Istanbul, and reluctant supporters of the Greek government in Athens—became entangled in the growing national tensions between Bulgaria and Greece during the first half of the twentieth century. In Between Two Motherlands, Theodora Dragostinova explores the shifting allegiances of this Greek minority in Bulgaria. Diverse social groups contested the meaning of the nation, shaping and reshaping what it meant to be Greek and Bulgarian during the slow and painful transition from empire to nation-states in the Balkans. In these decades, the region was racked by a series of upheavals (the Balkan Wars, World War I, interwar population exchanges, World War II, and Communist revolutions). The Bulgarian Greeks were caught between the competing agendas of two states increasingly bent on establishing national homogeneity. Based on extensive research in the archives of Bulgaria and Greece, as well as fieldwork in the two countries, Dragostinova shows that the Greek population did not blindly follow Greek nationalist leaders but was torn between identification with the land of their birth and loyalty to the Greek cause. Many emigrated to Greece in response to nationalist pressures; others sought to maintain their Greek identity and traditions within Bulgaria; some even switched sides when it suited their personal interests. National loyalties remained fluid despite state efforts to fix ethnic and political borders by such means as population movements, minority treaties, and stringent citizenship rules. The lessons of a case such as this continue to reverberate wherever and whenever states try to adjust national borders in regions long inhabited by mixed populations.

Januarius MacGahan (1844-1878) had an incandescent career as a foreign correspondent, covering the Franco-Prussian, Carlist, and Russo-Turkish wars, a Russian incursion into Central Asia, and even an arctic expedition. His reports on the "Bulgarian Atrocities" of 1876 earned him the inscription on his grave marker in New Lexington, Ohio: "Liberator of Bulgaria." "Dale Walker has done Januarius MacGahan all the honor that has long been due him." [The Smithsonian] "Mr. Walker's research is as impressive as his writing..." [Washington Times] "For those who enjoy narrative history, this is a book not to be missed." [Journalism Quarterly]

Dimitar Mishev publishes this work in Bulgarian in 1916. The first English translation appears three years later. The author touches upon and defines the most relevant and important cultural events in Bulgarian history. The latter are pursued in parallel with events in the countries neighboring Bulgaria. Mishev lays the foundation of the mix of events from which Bulgarian identity and national interests are based upon. His spirit of defending the Bulgarian interests, of Bulgarian law, of the Bulgarian honor manifests itself in its element after the catastrophes in the two wars which led to Bulgarian people's unification. Bulgaria is not only outraged and cruelly slashed, it is ruthless and slandered by its enemies. Fenced on all sides during the Balkan Wars, it is sheltered with defenseless allegations of monster crimes. Since it is not possible to act against these accusations here, Mishev finds himself in neutral Switzerland and there, from Lausanne and Geneva, he lends himself with the defense of the Bulgarian honor. As a frontrunner in the struggle against our blaspheurs and slanders, Mishev follows all slandered bulwarks, writes letters, telegrams to prominent European statesmen and political figures; With the abundant information he has on hand, makes public exposures to liars and defamers.Dimitar Mishev Dimitrov, nicknamed Brankov, is a Bulgarian writer, publicist and politician, long-time secretary of the Bulgarian Exarchate, and an active member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.The author was born in Vidin, Bulgaria in 1854. His primary education was received in Vidin, and then with the help of Exarch Antim I followed in the Gabrovo High School, which ended in 1872. In the same year he taught for a little while in Orhanie (now Botevgrad), but when the Russo-Turkish War broke out (1877-1878), he moved to Sofia, where he became a translator of the Sofia District Chief. Dimitar Mishev published in three large volumes, as an edition of the Holy Synod, Church Archives, respectively in 1925, 1929 and 1931. He created a Bulgarian Union "Father Paisii" and edited his body "Otets Paisii". He is the head of the Bulgarian section of the League for the Protection of Human Rights and the citizen of the Peace Society of the Community of the Peoples.Dimitar Mishev died in 1932 in Sofia.

This is the first volume in a series of books on democratic consolidation in Eastern Europe. The series focuses on three major aspects of democratic consolidation in Eastern Europe: institutional engineering, transnational pressures and civil society. This first volume analyses constraints on and opportunities of institutional engineering in Eastern Europe: to what extent and how elites in Eastern Europe have been able to shape, if not manipulate, the politics of democratic consolidation through institutional means. The aim is to contrast a set of democracy theories with empirical evidence accumulated in Eastern Europe over the last ten years. The volume tries to avoid complex debates about definitions, methods and the uses and misuses of comparative research. Instead it tries to establish what has really happened in the region, and which of the existing theories have proved helpful in explaining these developments. The volume starts with a presentation of conceptual and comparative frameworks, followed by in-depth empirical analyses of the thirteen individual countries undergoing democratic consolidation. The first conceptual and comparative part contains three chapters. The first chapter explains what institutional engineering is about and describes our experiences with institutional engineering in former transitions to democracy. It also focuses on the import and export of institutional designs. The second chapter analyses the utility of constitutions in the process of democratic consolidation. The third chapter compares constitutional designs and problems of implementation in Southern and Eastern Europe. The empirical case studies deal with the following countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Poland. And the conclusions evaluate the enormous impact of institutions on politics in Eastern Europe and show how central constitutional designs are to the institutional engineering in the societies undergoing transitions to democracy.
