“I WROTE LEVSKI FOR MYSELF; GOTSE DELCHEV –
FOR BULGARIA AND THE BULGARIAN PEOPLE”.
IN MEMORY OF MERCIA MACDERMOTT (1927 – 2023)
Elena Alexandrova
(Summary)
Undoubtedly, the research conducted by the British historian and
writer Mercia MacDermott, among which the pivotal biographies of
the Bulgarian revolutionaries Vasil Levski, Gotse Delchev and Yane
Sandanski, has contributed to Bulgarian history scholarship, but more
importantly, they popularized some important moments of our past
among the British and Western European public. The strong emotional
impulse with which the British researcher began to write each of her
works did not exclude, but rather complemented her serious and
meticulous research approach. Her particular interest in the liberation
revolutionary movement of the Bulgarians in Macedonia grew for her
into a cause that she followed until the end of her life.
Keywords: Mercia MacDermott, British history science, biographies,
