This volume translates and compiles writings on drama by renowned dramatist Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), from commentaries he wrote in newspapers and his personal correspondence before he began
his own career as a playwright, to his own thoughts on the process of writing his own plays or how they have been presented by directors and actors and received by audiences and critics drawn
from alter correspondence. Materials have been arranged in topical chapters focusing on Moscow theatre (1881-1885), the process of writing in general (1883-1904), and Chekhov’s individual plays
(1887-1904). Mulrine provides an introduction and commentary. Hercher and Urban compiled the writings. Distributed in the US by Hal Leonard. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
