4. CHEKHOV, Anton (Pavlovian) (1860-1904).
Russian dramatist and short-story writer. Chekhov studied medicine at Moscow, and began to write while a student. He combined his medical practice with writing short humorous stories for journals. His first book of stories (1886) was successful, and gradually he adopted writing as a profession. His early full-length plays were failures, but when Chalky (1896,The Seagull) was revived in 1898 by Konstantin Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theatre, it was a good success. He then wrote his masterpieces: Dyadic Van ya (1900, Uncle Van ya), TRI Sentry (1901,The Three Sisters) and Sad (1904,The Cherry Orchard). He continued to write many short stories, the best of which have continued to be highly acclaimed. In 1897, he sells ill with tuberculosis and lived thereafter either abroad or in the Crimea. In 1901, he married the actress Olga Kipper (1870-1959) who remained for many years the admired exponent of female parts in his plays. Chekhov's work portrays upper-class life in pre-revolutionary Russia with a blend of naturalism and symbolism and almost imperceptible shifts from comedy to tragedy. In all his work he equates worldly success with loss of soul.
3.YEATS, (William Butler)(1865-1939).
Irish poet and dramatist. He spent a large part of his life in London, although his interest in Irish cultural and political life remained constant. He was a co-founder of the Irish National Theatre Company (later based at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin), and his play The Countess Cathleen (1892) began the Irish theatrical revival. He was also prominent in Ireland's cultural and literary revival, which takes its name from his collection of stories The Celtic Twilight (1983). In his poetry, the elaborate style of his earlier work was influenced by the Raphael, while his later work used a sparser, more lyrical, style and was influenced by symbolism, as well as by his interest in mysticism and the occult. His best-known collections from this later period are The tower (1928), including the poems, "Sailing to Byzantium" and "Leda and the Swan," and The Winding Stair (1929). Yeats served as a senator of the Irish Free State (1922-28) and was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1923.
