Alexander Ostrovsky’s dramatic heritage has been primarily regarded as ‘slice-of-life’ plays in the Russian historico-theatrical tradition, due to the detailed descriptions of everyday life and sociopsychological characters/types it represents. The very first (and until recently the only monographic) study of Ostrovsky in a west European language was Ostrovski et son théâtre de mœurs russes (1912), by the French Slavicist Jules Patouillet,¹ which gave priority to this point of view among Western historians of literature and theater, too.
