The Companion, first published in 2000, begins with an examination of Chekhov's life, his Russia, and the original productions of his plays at the Moscow Art Theatre. Later film versions and adaptations of Chekhov's works are analysed, with valuable insights also offered on acting Chekhov, by Ian McKellen, and directing Chekhov, by Trevor Nunn and Leonid Heifetz. The volume also provides essays on 'special topics' such as Chekhov as writer, Chekhov and women, and the Chekhov comedies and stories. Key plays, such as The Cherry Orchard and The Seagull, receive dedicated chapters while lesser-known works and genres are also brought to light. The volume concludes with appendices of primary sources, lists of works, and a select bibliography. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 676 $a891.72/3 702 $aGottlieb$b Vera$f1945- 702 $aAllain$b Paul 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996216708203316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Chekhov$92493795 997 $aUNISA
