This article provides an overview of the existing Bulgarian and foreign studies on the Baroque in Bulgarian literature. It notes the fact that the investigation of the problem was initiated by the Czech literary scholar V. Bechynova, whose ideas were later shared and further explored by the Bulgarian Slavists: E. Georgiev, P. Dinekov, K. Stanchev, L. Boeva, Y. Michakov, among others. Their studies identified the literatr communities and individual authors who were influenced by the Baroque style and determined the sources of Baroque influences. They also contributed to the systematization and periodization of the Bulgarian literary works containing traces of the Baroque mindset and stylistic code. The foreign scholars ((V. Bechynova, A. Angyal. A. Borowiec) confirmed the presence of the Baroque paradigm in Bulgarian literature and focused mainly on the literary production of the Bulgarian Catholics in the 17th century and the complex synthesis of the Baroque and Classicist traits in the early literature of the National Revival in the second half of the 19th century.
