Historically they have been very popular but critically sneered at as being of sub-literary quality. The earliest ones were the dime novels of the nineteenth century, printed on newsprint (hence "pulp" fiction) and sold for ten cents. Westerns, stories of adventure, even the Horatio Alger novels, all were forms of pulp fiction. Robert Harris - VirtualSalt

- Првото драмско дело на Загорка е едночинката „Што умее жената“, изведена во 1901 година во Хрватското народно казалиште, која од тогашната унгарско-германска критика било дочекано на нож.
