‘Dew on the Grass’: The Poetics of Inbetweenness in Chekhov (Russian Edition)

“Dew on the Grass”: The Poetics of Inbetweenness in Chekhov is the first comprehensive and systematic study to focus on the poetic dimensions of Anton Chekhov’s prose and drama. Using the concept of “inbetweenness,” this book reconceptualizes the central aspects of Chekhov’s style, from his use of language to the origins of his artistic worldview. Radislav Lapushin offers a fresh interpretive framework for the analysis of Chekhov’s individual works and his œuvre as a whole.

Radislav Lapushin is Professor of Russian Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the author of two books on Chekhov, several collections of poetry, and numerous articles, as well as editor (together with Carol Apollonio) of the book Chekhov’s Letters.
