Summary/Abstract: The paper examines Iliya Todorov’s book “On Botev’s verse”. I focus both on the researcher’s conclusions, generalizations and statements, and on the various mechanisms through which he arrives at them. The paper discusses Todorov’s analyses of the existential status of the poems, their variations, the editions in which they were published, the numerous editorial interventions. It raises questions concerning our idea of the poet – how we understand and think about his genius, how we perceive and read his poetic legacy; it also discusses the role of the author with regard to authenticity and tradition.
