'Chekhov (as Cornel West and Yuri Corrigan remind us) poses a problem for the academy: he is notoriously hard to explain or teach. Rather than attempting to pin this elusive author down, this volume provides many different frames and contexts in which Chekhov's works can be read and interpreted. An essential guide for all teachers, readers, and lovers of Chekhov.' Irina Paperno, University of California, Berkeley 'Chekhov in Context is an invaluable resource, the volume I wish I'd had on my shelf my entire career. But it's so much more than the reference work that implies. Exquisitely conceived by Yuri Corrigan and beautifully executed by its distinguished contributors, the book explores the network of personal circumstances, social structures, literary institutions, humanistic and scientific disciplines, environmental concerns, and ideological urgencies of Chekhov's world with extraordinary nuance. Moreover, it does so not to account for or even to interpret Chekhov's work, but (in Corrigan's felicitous formulation) to 'complicate' it. The resulting treatment of individual works is stunning, as is the analysis of the ways in which Chekhov irrevocably altered the status quo. The book makes a critical-and inspiring-contribution. Kudos to all concerned.' Cathy Popkin, Columbia University 'Recommended.' D. Hutchins, CHOICEMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
