Description:		This course covers Chekhovs short stories within the context of Russian and European/American literature of the 19th century. The short story as a literary genre, conceived as late as the end of the 18th century, grew and matured in the course of the 19th century. Edgar Allan Poe, Nikolai Gogol, Mark Twain, Ivan Turgenev, Prosper Mrime, Lev Tolstoy, Gui De Maupassant and many other European and American writers secured its venerable position in literature. The works of Anton Chekhov are at the pinnacle of civic, lyric, and psychological realism of the 19th century. At the same time, his short stories bridge 20th century modernism, preparing the ground for Soviet avant-garde on the one hand, and the modernist writings of Ivan Bunin and Vladimir Nabokov on the other. In English.
