Summary/Abstract: The present article is a short review of Nicola Stanev’s book “Expressive Reading”, which is the first theoretical essay on reciting literature. Referring to past experiences and reviving this classical aesthetic practice, the author of the article highlights the opportunity to study literary texts at school through focused interactions with the texts, a kind of enacting, which discloses the practical rather than the metaliterary discourse in teaching literature. This opportunity, unfortunately, has been missed at schools the last decades. The analysis of Stanev’s work focuses on the educational potential of expressive reading and its aesthetic character.
