Rezensionen
'James N. Loehlin's book offers the undergraduate student an expert analysis of Anton Chekhov's prose works and drama in their literary-historical context ... This highly recommended book encourages the reader to appreciate Chekhov's unquestioned mastery of both drama and fiction ... Loehlin explores adroitly Chekhov's humane if unsentimental vision, which combines comedy, dark humor, despair, skepticism, irony, and a 'yearning for the transcendent'. The book's annotated bibliography guides students in pursuing further research into Chekhov's works.' William M. Hawley, The European Legacy: Toward New Paradigms
