Edwin Mellen Pr., 2007. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Reid (drama, U. of the West of England) bucks the trend in his understanding of Chekov's work. Rather than emphasizing the dramatist's objectivity and stateliness, Reid is inspired by the idea that Chekov did have something to say, and there was a real force in how he said it. Reid works from a close, polemical perspective, concerning himself primarily with artistic expression in the rhetorical forms of eloquence and persuasion. He works through the subtleties of the "typical" in Ivanov, moving to the interplay of matter and spirit in The Seagull, the polemical cackling in Uncle Vanya (and the resulting over-reliance on theories by critics), the complex characterizations in Three Sisters that have before now largely escaped critical notice, and, finally, Chekov's use of polemic as parting advice in The Cherry Orchard. The result is accessible and of immediate use to those who wish to mount a bloodless production. (2007 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR), Edwin Mellen Pr., 2007, 0<
