Summary/Abstract: Nikoleta Patova’s book “Bulgarian Drama and Theater. Critical Chronicle (1866–1910)” offers a fascinating literary-historical and cultural narrative of the processes in the creation and establishment of Bulgarian drama as a new literary genre during the Revival in correlation with the emergence and imposition of theater as a new cultural institution. The leading lens in examining the aforementioned processes is the “polemical voice of criticism,” which lifts the curtain on the mechanisms in the construction of national drama and theater in the period 1866–1910.
