Macedonia literature

The Macedonia literature in its proper form date back to the times, when the Cyrilic code of letters were being introduced in The Nineteenth century. The founders of the Cyrilic way of writing Macedonian, St, Cyril and St. Methodus were the propounders of the first literary works of Macedonia. Thus the texts of Thessaloniki is the first official literature of Macedonia. All initial literary writings were focused on religious texts and other church related topics. This genre of writing was represented by Kiril Pejcinovic-Tetoec, Joakim Krcovski and Teodosij Sinaitski. At a later period, the church literature was abandoned. The new school of writers included Dimitar,Constantine Miladinov, Rajko Zinzifov,ConstantineGrigor Prlicev, Andrea Petkovic, Constantine and Jordan Hadzi Konstantinov-Dzinot to name the most important of them all. There were also a train of some lesser known authors who contributed to the development of the literature of Macedonia. This was the foundation of the modern literature in Macedonia. During the long period of Ottoman domination over Macedonia, the indigenous literature had suffered stagnation. It was after the first world war, that contemporary Macedonia literature revived once again. It started with news paper journals. The Macedonian literature has since then contributed largely to post war literature.
