Summary
Julia Listengarten assesses Chekhov’s theatrical revolution in the context of other major innovators of his time, including Ibsen, Strindberg, and Maeterlinck, presenting Chekhov not as an exponent of any movement but as a unique theatrical practitioner whose work resonated within a broader cultural moment.
