Every page reveals the joys and difficulties of his short life, his comic sensibility, deep compassion, and often puzzling use of dramatic style and genre. Carnicke demystifies Chekhov's plays-forged from his literary innovations, avid theatergoing, love of vaudeville, and loathing of melodrama. She interweaves biographical and cultural information with insightful case studies and close analysis to leave her reader with a full and fresh perspective on an artist who is as foundational to theatrical traditions as are Shakespeare and Stanislavsky.Companions to Russian LiteratureDramaTheaterDrama.Theater.891.723Carnicke Sharon Marie1949-1707638Grave Ivan920999MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813461703321Checking out Chekhov4096053UNINA
