Each story has been freshly translated and includes explanatory footnotes to aid interpretation. The edition also features an introduction on Chekhov's life and times and a selection of contextual materials--most of them also freshly translated--that includes examples of Chekhov's thinking, as articulated in his letters and autobiography, about literature and medicine; critical responses to Chekhov's writing by some of his contemporaries; and excerpts from the memoirs of another late nineteenth-century Russian physician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKirsten Lodge\u003c\/strong\u003e is Hardin Professor of Humanities and English and Humanities Program Coordinator at Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, Texas.
