Summary

This article focuses on Pencho Slaveykov’s concept of “work in the present,” which forms the core of his definition of modernity, blending together literature and social experience. Slaveykov’s literary project and author persona are viewed in the broader context of aesthetic modernity. The Bulgarian modernist is a cultural engineer pushing the idea of a differentiation of cultural and artistic spheres. His goal is to autonomize literature after the utilitarian imperatives of the Bulgarian National Revival. The author simultaneously embodies a Balkan ‘crank’ and a German conceptualist. Slaveykov’s work not only demonstrates that modernism has broken with the past, but also constructs an alternative cultural memory shaped in the generic modes of the epic, the lyric, and the anthology. The author entitles himself with the power to be a guardian of cultural memory. Pencho Slaveykov’s conceptualizations envisage the creation of the author as an institution pivotal for the construction of a national literature.

Kеywords: Pencho Slaveykov; work in the present; Bulgarian Modernism; modernity and individualism; cultural memory; techniques of self-representation
