The book shows Chekhov in a new light, as a writer with a synthetic
ethical worldview on which his poetics are based. The book's key
finding is that the temporal experience of modernity lies at the
centre of Chekhov's work. This conclusion is reached by comparing
the ways in which modern temporality is represented in the
different genres in which Chekhov wrote, from the non-fictional
Sakhalin Island to his short fiction and drama. In terms of
methodology, the book combines the historiographical and
sociological views of modernity as based on a certain understanding
of time with Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope.
