Chekhov is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential
literary figures of modern times. Russia's preeminent playwright,
he played a significant role in revolutionizing the modern theatre.
His impact on prose fiction writing is incalculable: he helped
define the modern short story. Beginning with an engaging account
of Chekhov's life and cultural context in nineteenth-century
Russia, this book introduces the reader to this fascinating and
complex personality. Unlike much criticism of Chekhov, it includes
detailed discussions of both his fiction and his plays. The
Introduction traces his concise, impressionistic prose style from
early comic sketches to mature works such as 'Ward No. 6' and 'In
the Ravine'. Examining Chekhov's development as a dramatist, the
book considers his one-act vaudevilles and early works, while
providing a detailed, act-by-act analysis of the masterpieces on
which his reputation rests: The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters
and The Cherry Orchard.
