About Bulgaria - Literature (464 words) |
 | Bulgarian literature began in the second half of the 9th century AD with the translations by St. Cyril and St. Methodius of religious works from Greek into the vernacular, now known as Old Church Slavonic. |
| From this period until the Turkish conquest of Bulgaria (1396) Bulgarian literature consisted mainly of similar translations of the Gospels, lives of the saints, sermons, and other religious material. |
| Before 1878 writers were concerned with social and political questions, above all with national independence, rather than with literary style or the problems of the inner life of the individual. |
