Macedonian literature

Macedonian literature refers to the body of written works produced in the Macedonian language, predominantly from North Macedonia. It encompasses poetry, prose, and drama, reflecting the region's rich history, culture, and struggles for identity. Notable figures include the 20th-century poet Blaze Koneski and novelist Petre M. Andreevski. The literature often explores themes of national identity, folklore, and social issues, influenced by historical events such as the Ottoman rule and Yugoslav era. Today, Macedonian literature continues to evolve, contributing to broader Balkan and European literary traditions.
