Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
These new translations of Chekhov's five major plays and three of his one-act farces include variant readings from earlier versions and manuscript versions. Laurence Senelick's translation closely preserves Chekhov's singular style. Included is the largest collection of Chekhov's commentary on his plays ever to appear in an English-language edition along with essays by leading European and Russian scholars. Notably there is also discusion of Chekhov's plays by some of the great directors of the last century. A chronology and bibliography are also included.

Rated by buyers -
I've been using this text in my Chekhov/Stanislavski class for the past 10 years and the translation by Eugene Bristow is outstanding. Very nuetral and keeping with the poetry of Chekhov's writing. Norton Critical Edition has decided to discontinue this edition and bring out a new edition with Lawrence Senelick's translation, which is absolutely an abomination to the Chekhovian text. It is crass, un-poetic and he has all the serfs and peasants speaking like southern African Americans. It is an embarrassment to the American Classics of Chekhov. I will be using another company for my texts in the future!
