In her well-known generous manner, Dr Georgette Donchin, Emeritus Reader at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, London University, presented me with first editions of all twelve elegant volumes of Constance Garnett’s translations of Chekhov’s stories and plays. They proved invaluable for creating this bibliography.

The intention was to cover Chekhoviana in the English-speaking world – Great Britain, the Irish Republic, the United States of America and Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The bibliography contains some 500 entries, located in sixteen thematic sections. It is not claimed that this compilation is exhaustive.1 The bibliography is intended in the first instance for persons studying Anton Chekhov’s works in English translation, but it should also be of value for persons studying or researching the writer’s biography and his legacy in the Russian original. We are fortunate in having a number of recent reference works, as well as two substantial collections of articles on Chekhov.2 The primary reason for initially selecting a period culminating in 2004 was to commemorate the centenary of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s death. It was an occasion which was widely used for commemorating the writer’s life and his creative achievement.3 But due to the enduring growth in the interest in Chekhov and the consequent increase in translations of his works and the appearance of new material, it was decided to extend coverage to the first quarter of 2008. Anton Chekhov’s standing as one of the leading figures in world literature is confirmed by the numerous languages into which his works (and some of his numerous letters) have been translated, and by the many countries where his plays are read, studied and staged. The premiere of The Seagull in English translation took place ninety nine ago at the Royalty Theatre, Glasgow, in November 1909. Thereafter, Chekhov’s plays became steadily established in the British repertoire. His plays are broadcast on BBC Radio and shown on television. Chekhov Seasons are arranged from time to time, comparable to our Shakespeare Seasons. Chekhov’s works are also domesticated in the USA and Canada. As in Britain, his plays and dramatised versions of the stories are staged in theatres, broadcast on the radio and shown on television. A number of them are on the syllabus of high schools, colleges and universities; some of them are included in anthologies of world literature and used in the study of dramatic technique. In fact, over the past ten to fifteen years Chekhov’s works have become more popular in North America than in Britain. However, in the USA the plays have on occasion been subjected to some drastic surgery and have been presented to the theatre-going public in scarcely recognisable form, whether as satire, pastiche or parody, and have in some versions been treated as material for low- 3 brow entertainment. In some extravagant versions Chekhov’s presumed intention, even his text, are ignored. Such free and irreverent attitudes to Anton Chekhov suggest that the Russian writer and his works have become integrated into American cultural life. With some reference to this bibliography, it may be useful to provide some general facts on the current state of Chekhoviana – the popularity of the plays and stories, new translations, new productions, and research interest in Chekhov as man and writer. During the eleven years under review well over a hundred new and reissued translations (including new versions and adaptations) have appeared in print, and some two hundred scholarly works were published (see Section V, “Chekhov studies”, the largest of the sections, which is supplemented by the contents of Section XIV). They include biographies, monographs, volumes of articles and individual studies, conference papers, researching various areas of Chekhov’s life and aspects of his art. Sections III

James Hazlett May, 1987 PREFACE This dissertation is a business history of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, and a study of regulation in the American West. Historians generally understand the economic growth of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the business institutions created during that era, within the perspective of "progressive" history. According to that view, Americans shifted from a public policy of laissez faire economics to one of state regulation around the turn of the century. More recently, historians have questioned the nature of regulation in American society, and this study extends that discussion into the livestock industry of the American West. 1 This dissertation relied heavily upon the minutes of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange. Other sources were also important, especially the minutes of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, which made possible a comparison of the two exchanges. Critical to understanding the role of the Exchange but unavailable in Kansas City, financial data was 1Morton Keller, "The Pluralist State: American Economic Regulation in Comparative Perspective, 1900-1930," in Thomas K.

  • (On) Anton Chekhov Ben Dhooge Nabokov and 'Other Re
    On an Unhappy Marriage, Henry James, and Atoms: Vladimir Nabokov Reading (on) Anton Chekhov Ben Dhooge Nabokov’s lecture on Anton Chekhov stands out for its numerous citations from Korney Chukovsky’s 1947 article ‘Friend Chekhov.’ At the same time, however, the lecture contains many more references to other critics, as well – some of them explicit, though not necessarily clear, others more concealed. In an attempt to trace the sources Nabokov used when drafting his Chekhov lecture, the article offers a concrete view of Nabokov’s critical laboratory. Additionally, the article sheds light on his relation to other critics and critical movements, more specifically with respect to the competing ‘tendencies’ at work in the canonization of Chekhov’s oeuvre during the interwar period: Russian émigré, Soviet, and Anglo-American. Nabokov and ‘other readers’ In his Lectures on Russian Literature, Vladimir Nabokov emerges not only as a reader of literature as such – and, by extension, as a teacher of literature – but also as a reader of critical writings on literature. Nabokov frequently refers to other ‘readers’ in the broadest sense of the word, i.e. to critics (writers, literary critics, and scholars) as well as to the common reader who, unlike the former, does not take pen in hand. Sometimes Nabokov names, cites, or refers to specific ‘readers’ who commented on the writer whose work is central to the lecture in question. More often, however, Nabokov refers to reactions and opinions of ‘readers’ without specifying whom they exactly belong to. He lumps individual ‘readers’ together, giving them collective names such as ‘Russian readers and critics,’ ‘socially-minded Russian critics,’ or ‘Freudian-minded explorers.’ More importantly, the different opinions of other ‘readers’ which Nabokov includes in his lectures are meaningful elements in the structure of his argumentation.

ROGERS directed by BARTLETT SHER PREVIEWS BEGIN THURSDAY, JUNE 16 OPENING NIGHT IS MONDAY, JULY 11 AT THE MITZI E. NEWHOUSE THEATER Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of André Bishop) has announced that Michael Aronov, Adam Dannheisser, Jennifer Ehle, Daniel Jenkins, Dariush Kashani, Jefferson Mays, Daniel Oreskes, Henny Russell, Joseph Siravo, and T. Ryder Smith will be featured in the cast of its upcoming production of OSLO, a new play by J.T. Rogers, directed by Bartlett Sher. Commissioned by Lincoln Center Theater, OSLO begins performances Thursday, June 16 and will open Monday, July 11 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 West 65 Street). Additional casting will be announced at a later date. It’s 1993. The world watches the impossible: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, standing together in the White House Rose Garden, signing the first ever peace agreement between Israel and the PLO. How were the negotiations kept secret? Why were they held in a castle in the middle of Norway? And who are these mysterious negotiators? A darkly comic epic, OSLO tells the true, but until now, untold story of how one young couple, Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul (to be played by Jennifer Ehle) and her husband social scientist Terje Rød-Larsen (to be played by Jefferson Mays), planned and orchestrated top-secret, high-level meetings between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which culminated in the signing of the historic 1993 Oslo Accords.
