The Breaking String
The Plays of Anton Chekhov
By
MAURICE VALENCY,
Columbia University.
"An original and important
contribution
to
the subject of Chekhov's theatre and plays. Valency's in–
terpretation is perceptive, sensitive, and often brilliant in its insights. The
work reveals a wealth of knowledge of the theatre and drama in general . . .
The analysis of the development of Chekhov's creative art . . . is the most
thoughtful and convincing one that
I
have read in any language."-ERNEST

The Turn of the Novel
By
ALAN FRIEDMAN,
Columbia Uni versity.
"A bold and witty argument
that should interest all students of the novel, and especially those who may
be wondering what precisely is 'modern' about modern fi ction. Without a
trace of pedantry or methodological self-importance, Friedman puts forth
a provocatively simple thesis and defends it with conviction, taste, and
abundant evidence. . .. An exceptionally engaging book."- FREDERICK C.
