Abstract
Up until 1944 Arthur Schnitzler was the most widely read author of the Young Vienna group in Bulgaria. The model of reception of his work shows how in the field of the free book market there can function categories that we tend to define more often as negative (publishing series, cheap publications, mass publications, social crises, etc.) yet such as would impose the significance of a particular writer’s oeuvre . The balance gets secured by the knowledgeable intelligentsia which, in critical discussions, only guides the process.

Key words: Arthur Schnitzler, reception, Bulgarian literary field, publishing series, reader’s horizon of expectation after 1918
