Anton Chekhov revolutionized Russian theater through his inimitable portrayals of characters faced with complex moral dilemmas. This Norton Critical Edition includes five of Chekhov’s major plays—Ivanov, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard—and three early one-act farces that inform his later work—The Bear, The Wedding, and The Celebration. Laurence Senelick’s masterful translations closely preserve Chekhov’s singular style—his abundant jokes and literary allusions and his careful use of phrase repetition to bind the plays together. "Letters" is the largest collection of Chekhov’s commentary on his plays ever to appear in an English-language edition. "Criticism" includes eleven essays by leading European and Russian Chekhov scholars, most appearing in English for the first time, including those by Boris Zingerman, Maria Deppermann, and Lev Shestor. This volume also provides discussion of Chekhov’s plays by some of the twentieth century’s great directors,
The Romance of the Rose was one of the most important works of medieval vernacular literature。It was composed in the thirteenth century and exerted a profound influence on literature in France，England，the Netherlands and Italy for the next 200 years。In this book，Sylvia Huot investigates how medieval readers understood the text，assessing the evidence to be found in well over 200 surviving manu*s：annotations，glosses，illuminations，marginal doodles，rewritings，expansions and abridgements。This allows a picture to emerge of the interests and concerns of its readers，including such important fourteenth-century figures as the monastic author Guillaume de Deguilleville and the court poet Guillaume de Machaut。The book contains analyses of individual versions of the poem。It offers an interesting perspective on the interpretative difficulties of this learned and complex poem。
