Chekov's works have unflinching integrity in the face of human
frailty. With their emphasis on the dignity and value of
individuals during unique moments, they help us better understand
how to exist with others when we are fundamentally alone. Written
in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, when the country
began to move fitfully toward industrialization and grappled with
the influence of Western liberalism even as it remained an
autocracy, Chekhov's plays and stories continue to influence
contemporary writers. The essays in this volume provide classroom
strategies for teaching Chekhov's stories and plays, discuss how
his medical training and practice related to his literary work, and
compare Chekhov with writers both Russian and American. The volume
also aims to help instructors with the daunting array of new
editions in English, as well as with the ever-growing list of
titles in visual media: filmed theater productions of his plays,
adaptations of the plays and stories scripted for film, and amateur
performances freely available online.
