Macedonian literature begins with the Ohrid Literary School in the First Bulgarian Empire in 886. These first written works in the dialects of the Old Church Slavonic were religious. The school was established by St. Clement of Ohrid. The Macedonian recension at that time was part of the Old Church Slavonic and it did not represent one regional dialect but a generalized form of early Eastern South Slavic. The standardization of Macedonian in the 20th century provided good ground for further development of the modern Macedonian literature and this period is the richest one in the history of the literature itself.

After the resolution of the Comintern on the Macedonian Question published in 1934, the Bulgarian Communist Party adopted its thesis and tried to urge some intellectuals to work out a plan for the creation of a distinct Macedonian language and for development of new Macedonian literature. With the foundation of this society, an attempt was made, to use it in order to do both. Though, its by-laws and statutes were in Bulgarian. Most active from its members were: Nikola Vaptsarov, Venko Markovski, Kole Nedelkovski, Vasil Ivanovski, Gjorgji Abadžiev, Anton Popov, Mihail Smatrakalev, Dimitar Mitrev and others.
