Eugene Schuyler and the Bulgarian Constitution of 1876 Eugene Schuyler and the Bulgarian Constitution of 1876 Patricia Herlihy “I am fearfully busy. Just now I am getting up a Constitution for Bulgaria.” Ô#QCAJA1?DQUHANPK#RAHUJ1?DQUHAN1?D=AɳAN ,KRAI>AN.)1 Schuyler and His Mission to Bulgaria Nation building has become a subject of international interest and do- mestic debate in the United States.2 Unintentionally, the United States was involved in the mapping and constructing of Bulgaria in the 1870s through the activities of a minor American diplomat, Eugene Schuyler. The American Government did not initiate Schuyler’s participation in the making of the Bulgarian Constitution and in the end disciplined him for his unauthorized actions.3 Nonetheless, Schuyler can be credited in large measure for the emergence of an autonomous Bulgaria and for the shape it ultimately assumed.

I am indebted to his widow Anne, his son John and his wife Carolyn, for allowing me to consult these letters, hereinafter cited as “Schuyler Papers”. 2 See, for example, James Dobbins et al., America’s Role in Nation-building: From Germany to Iraq, Santa Monica, CA 2003. 3 Osvobozhdenie Bolgarii ot Turetskogo iga: Dokumenty v trekh tomakh, Moscow 1961, Vol. 1, 341 n. 1: “Schuyler and MacGahan and even Schneider in their reports and correspondence gave a correct picture of the bloody massacres by the Turks and the desolation of Bulgaria, for which Schuyler later received censure from the War Minister of the USA.” The author probably meant the State Department instead of the War Department.

He had only been in Constantinople a few days, when he asked the American Minister Horace Maynard to help him enter Bulgaria to investigate reports by American missionaries of mass murders of Christians.7 As Maynard wrote the American Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish, on 21 November 1876: “Mr. Schuyler, the newly-appointed secretary of legation and consul-general, arrived PDAKB(QHU BNKI#JCH=J@ EJPDAIE@OPKBPDA@EO?QOOEKJÕKBPDAI=OO=?NAOÖ &=REJC learned the state of it, and moved by a desire to ascertain the truth, he decided to visit Bulgaria in person and make inquiries on the ground.

  • Bulgarian Revival Culture - an Axiological Perspective in the Texts of Januarius Macgahan and Stanislas St
    English Studies at NBU, 2015 ISSN 2367-5705 (Print) Vol. 1, Issue 2, 41-54 www.esnbu.org BULGARIAN REVIVAL CULTURE - AN AXIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE IN THE TEXTS OF JANUARIUS MACGAHAN AND STANISLAS ST. CLAIR Zhivko Hristov New Bulgarian University, Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract Analyzing the vocabulary and the stylistic techniques in the works of the two authors, dedicated to Bulgaria, the article aims to contribute to a change of the two seemingly contrasting attitudes in their Bulgarian reception. The first is the implicit attitude to MacGahan as a "dangerous" author whose work is not even published with its true title - "The Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria". The focus of the analysis are the passages that deal with the Bulgarian material culture and education, as well as their axiological charge. The second is the negative value-based perception of the Bulgaro-phobic texts of St. Clair, an author obviously considered ineligible for translating into Bulgarian. However, his work might be a valuable source of knowledge about the culture of the Bulgarian national revival, provided that our reception remains neutral and unaffected by his derogatory language. Key words: translation equivalence, connotation, axiology, irony, value-oriented motivation Article history: Received: 24 April 2015; Reviewed: 23 November 2015; Revised: 26 November 2015; Accepted: 21 December 2015; Published: 31 December 2015 Zhivko Hristov has an MA in Philosophy with a minor in English from St Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2001 – 2013, he taught English for International Relations and Psychology at Varna Free University. In 2014, he started his doctoral studies in Linguistics and Theory of Translation at New Bulgarian University.

If I had not taken her AP class, my life probably would have gone in a different direction! At that time math was my favorite subject, but her class got me hooked on studying American History. Thanks, too, to the excellent teachers and mentors in graduate school who shaped and challenged my thinking. At American University (where I earned my M.A.), I’d like to thank Max Friedman, Andrew Lewis, Kate Haulman, and Eileen Findlay. I transferred to UCSB to finish my Ph.D. and have thoroughly enjoyed working with Pat Cohen, John Majewski, Salim Yaqub, and Mhoze Chikowero. I’d especially like to thank Pat, who provided insightful feedback on early drafts of my chapter about the Mellimelli mission (which has been published in Diplomatic History).
