The aim of this course is to trace the changes in the
Realists' idea of drama brought about by A.P. Chekhov. We
will compare Chekhov's plays with those of his immediate
predecessors, Ibsen and Strindberg, and will try to discover
the impact of the 19th-century European novel on the
theatrical tradition represented by Ibsen, Strindberg, and
Chekhov. The course will cover Chekhov's major plays with a
special emphasis on their structure, characters, symbols,
and Chekhov's use of theatrical time and space.
