FRIENDS AND ENEMIES IN THE REPUBLIK OF LETTERS (THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IV. NAYDENOV, P. SLAVEYKOV, SV. MILAROV AND ST. BOBCHEV IN ONE CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE 1870s)

  • ABSTRACT

    This paper deals with two types of dependence of the Bulgarian journalists from the 19th century – the dependence of the editors from their editions, what they are inclined to do in behalf of them, even to the detriment of their personal writings, on one hand, and the dependence of the personal friendships and hostilities, on the other. The observations are based on some letters from the archive of Ivan Naydenov and other texts that draw the picture of his complicated relationships with Petko Slaveykov, Svetoslav Milarov, and Stefan Bobchev.
