"The rueful, ironic, witty, and always delightful plays and stories of Anton Chekhov are among the the richest treasures of Russian literature. They reflect Chekhov's deep sympathy for humanity and his concern with the changing Russia of his day....The author has drawn on many sources for her study: Chekhov's literary works, his numerous letters, the memoirs of his brothers and friends, and many articles. She tells his story against the deftly sketched background of Russian society of the late nineteenth century. Chekhov's plays summarize several decades of Russian history, which the author describes as a period of long twilight. This book recreates this period, and evokes the spirit of one of the most original of Russian writers." -- from back cover
