Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2005.

This dissertation examines temporalities in dramatic works by three playwrights: Anton Chekhov, Alexander Vvedensky, and Vaclav Havel. It is my contention that these playwrights, whose works have heretofore been viewed as unrelated, all engage time in ways that make it the central preoccupation of their plays, both thematically and in terms of structure. Chekhov's drama is surprisingly Modernist in this regard, and the affinities between his Three Sisters and later plays by Vvedensky and Havel suggest a shared approach to drama as a genre uniquely capable of presenting and critiquing temporal constructs.

520 $a This dissertation examines temporalities in dramatic works by three playwrights: Anton Chekhov, Alexander Vvedensky, and Vaclav Havel. It is my contention that these playwrights, whose works have heretofore been viewed as unrelated, all engage time in ways that make it the central preoccupation of their plays, both thematically and in terms of structure. Chekhov's drama is surprisingly Modernist in this regard, and the affinities between his Three Sisters and later plays by Vvedensky and Havel suggest a shared approach to drama as a genre uniquely capable of presenting and critiquing temporal constructs.
520 $a Drama has always been particularly focused on its temporal structuring, in large part because drama's element is time. With its connections to theatrical performance, dramatic literature must simultaneously account for two temporal paradigms: the internal, fictional time of the text; and the uninterrupted, real time of performance. All playwrights create dramatic worlds that engage these two distinct time frames. But the plays discussed in this dissertation (Chekhov's Three Sisters, Vvedensky's Christmas at the Ivanovs, and Havel's Unveiling) are constructed in a way that actively draws attention to their potential, as dramatic works, for this dual framing of time. These plays make time itself their subject, showing an awareness of the temporal experience, as both a theme and a problem of representation.
520 $a Chekhov can be viewed as an originator of what I term "meta-temporal" drama. He is a playwright who anticipates and defines the dramatic concerns with time that twentieth-century dramatists continue to explore. Vvedensky and Havel, two later playwrights in the Slavic tradition, are presented here as dramatists who follow in Chekhov's footsteps, creating their own Absurdist versions of meta-temporal drama. Using philosophical, scientific, and historical sources (Bergson's philosophy, the development of Greenwich Mean Time, the Einsteinian Revolution, French Absurdism, etc.) to supplement literary scholarship, I contextualize Chekhov's innovation and these later playwrights' variations, and I discuss the insights that all three of these authors bring to an understanding of the temporal experience.
