Chekhov's Names 71 Creature-The Sea Gull," 14 As Nina Used to Be
Chekhov's Nam.es JOHN P. PAULS The funny names, the droll expressions, the comic phrases he invented have passed into Russian speech ... 1 THE MASTERFUL AUTHOR of provincial frustration, A.P. Chekhov (1860-1904), regarded his unique lyrical plays of inaction as comedies, including his last masterpiece, The Cherry Orchard (1904). Yet, some American critics recently wrote of Uncle Vanya (1897), which Chekhov himself described as only "scenes from country life," as being "totally tragic." 2 Perhaps this superficial inconsistency could be answered by the casual yet valid statement of Slonim: And while the young humorist yielded to his gaiety, the mature writer evinced a melancholy tolerance of human frailties. 3 As in real life, so in Chekhov's plays, the comic goes hand in hand with the tragic, so well manifested earlier in Gogol's works ("laughter through tears"). Generally speaking, Chekhov's characters, though often pathetic, lack the dignity and stature of traditional tragic characters. They are frequently a mixture of pity and sympathetic ridicule, and can hardly qualify as being truly tragic. 4 The basic theme of Chekhov's subtle dramas is that the life of the provincial neurotic intelligentsia is dull, boring and frustrating, especially in view of the fact· that the characters lack the inner resources to escape the trifles of life, and to make their existence more rewarding. There is little excitement in routine work, in playing cards out of boredom, in bickering with the family, or in drinking vodka out of frustration. Long before Sherwood Anderson or Sinclair Lewis, Chekhov probed the dullness of middle-class life and described boredom as the most prevalent disease of modern times. -

The Artist As Literary Character in the Works of Anton Chekhov
THE ARTIST AS LITERARY CHARACTER IN THE WORKS OF ANTON CHEKHOV by Amber Jo Aulen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto Copyright by Amber J. Aulen 2018 ABSTRACT The Artist as Literary Character in the Work of Anton Chekhov Doctor of Philosophy 2017 Amber Jo Aulen Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto The present dissertation considers the methodology of Anton Chekhov’s literary ethics by focusing on the figure of the artist in his work. There are two general strategies he employs in depicting this figure. The first regards his engagement with typicality in characterizing the artist, and the second regards the reflexivity of the artist, which is to say the artist’s actions on the fictional plane draw attention to the author’s actions on the meta-fictional plane. The concern with typicality vis-à-vis the artist is more prominent in his earlier stories and is the focus of the first part of the dissertation. Chapter One addresses typicality in the genre of the physiologie in France and its Russian counterpart, the fiziologicheskii ocherk. This discussion lays the groundwork for Chapter Two, which addresses Chekhov’s move towards the complicated type in a trio of stories showcasing artists published in short succession in February 1886 – “An Actor’s Death” (“Akterskaia gibel’”), “Requiem” (“Panikhida”), and “Anyuta” (“Aniuta”). The reflexive quality of the figure of the artist, which we also find in the three aforementioned stories, is more prominent in Chekhov’s later stories and is the focus of the second part of the dissertation. -

Romance As an Experimental Form in Polish and Russian Early Modernism
Romance as an Experimental Form in Polish and Russian Early Modernism by Łukasz Wodzyński A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto © Copyright by Łukasz Wodzyński 2015 Romance as an Experimental Form in Polish and Russian Early Modernism Łukasz Wodzyński Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto 2015 Abstract In my dissertation I examine a group of modernist novels that attempt to braid together two seemingly divergent literary modes: modernism and popular fiction. I argue that in the field of the novel popular culture was able to educate modernist writers on how to narrate their key ideological positions. The introductory chapter describes the situation of the novel in Polish and Russian early modernism and poses the question of the modernist authors’ need to experiment with popular literature. In this chapter I also develop an argument for the applicability and usefulness of the concept of romance in theorizing the relationship between the two modes. In the first chapter I present Fedor Sologub's novel-trilogy The Created Legend as an example of a “modernist romance” by using Northrop Frye’s structural approach. I also argue that the trilogy can be read as a narrativized justification of the author's sudden rise to prominence in the Russian literary field. The second chapter examines Jerzy Żuławski’s science-fictional epic The Lunar Trilogy. I look at spatial architecture, the protagonists, and temporality in this work as three loci in which the modernist ideology and romance engage in a dialogue. -
