This monograph offers a deep dive into the literary and biographical context of Anton Chekhov's prose. It examines the extensive network of connections between Chekhov and his contemporaries, as well as his literary predecessors, drawing on material from his earliest to his latest works. These connections form a rich and meaningful intertext.
A special focus is placed on Chekhov's internal biography, reconstructed through analysis of stories based on events from his own life and the lives of his family and friends. The book also explores the reverse side of Chekhov's artistic polemics: the debates and responses from his contemporaries, as expressed through their own fiction.
Designed for literary scholars and students of Russian literature from the turn of the 19th–20th centuries, this volume is also a rewarding read for anyone who loves Chekhov's work and is interested in his life.
