| | Dana Gioia Online - Anton Chekhov |
| | As the late Rufus Matthewson once observed, Chekhov fully articulated the dominant form of twentieth century short fiction: "the casual telling of a nuclear experience in an ordinary life, rendered with immediate and telling detail." Chekhov was the first author to consciously explore and perfect this literary method in his vast output of short stories. | | | What Chekhov offered instead was the luminous detail, a few significant particulars that summon up a character or scene. | | | What seems most distinctive about Chekhov's mature stories is how the plot inevitably originates from the inner force of his characters. |

| | This delicate and original genius was at first subjected to harsh criticism, which Chekhov felt keenly, and Trigorin's description in "The Sea-Gull" of the trials of a young author is a cry from Chekhov's own soul. | | | Anton Chekhov Short Stories - A collection of short stories by Chekhov. | | | A passionate enemy of all lies and oppression, he already foreshadows in these early writings the protest against conventions and rules, which he afterward put into Treplieff's reply to Sorin in "The Sea-Gull": "Let us have new forms, or else nothing at all." |

| | Emile Gaboriau and his School |
| | The Tolstoy-influenced "Lights" (1888) seems to be the best of Chekhov's early novellas. | | | Similarly, the novella "Ward Number Six" (1892) has a short companion piece, "In Exile" (1892), that explores the same themes as the longer work. | | | I think he was an important influence on Chekhov's writing style, period, in all of his works. |
