One century after the death of Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), his plays
are celebrated throughout the world as a major milestone in the
history of theater and drama. Outside the Russian-speaking
community, he is undoubtedly the most widely translated, studied,
and performed of all Russian writers. His plays are characterized
by their evasiveness: tragedy and comedy, realism and naturalism,
symbolism and impressionism, as well as other labels of school and
genre, all of which fail to account for the uniqueness of his
artistic system and worldview. "A New Poetics of Chekhov's Plays:
Presence Through Absence" is a bold attempt to map the unique
structure and meaning that comprise Chekhov's immensely rich
artistic universe. Harai Golomb explores all the prime components
of Chekhov's theatrical technique: text construction, themes and
ideas, scenes, dialogue, plot, and interaction between verbal and
nonverbal elements. His timeless works are shown with rare insight
and clarity to have artistic principles and coherence above and
beyond the scope of the individual play.
