Of all Russian writers, Chekhov is one of the best liked and most
easily appreciated. Yet he is also one of the most elusive. Here
Donald Rayfield reveals the layers of meaning on which the great
dramatist's stories and plays are built. He examines his brief
twenty-year creative life, from medical student supplementing his
income by writing comic stories to his rapid rise as the father of
twentieth-century drama and narrative prose. Understanding Chekhov
is enriched by revelations from previously unexplored archival
material, which deepen our understanding of Chekhov's sources,
preoccupations, philosophy, and his relations with theater, with
fellow writers, and with contemporary ideas.
