The Bishop of Lovech (Bulgarian: Ловчанският владика) is a Bulgarian comedy play by Teodosiy Ikonomov, considered the first Bulgarian play. Ikonomov wrote it in 1857 as a student in Constantinople,[1] in response to the lack of Bulgarian works available, but it was not published until 1863 in Bolgrad[2] due to poor finances. The play is narrated from the viewpoint of Petko Slaveykov, who relates the struggle for independence of the Bulgarian Church.
