Machines in Chekhov's fiction.
Morgan, William Justin.

Machines in Chekhov's fiction. - 72 p.

Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 51-06.

Thesis (M.A.)--The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2013.

This thesis analyzes numerous depictions of machines found throughout Anton Chekhov's short stories and dramatic works. Primary emphasis is placed on the portrayal of factories, steamships, and trains, because they are the quintessential machines representing man's technological progress in the late nineteenth century. This analysis highlights the complexity of Chekhov's machine imagery and sheds light on the positive implications for modernity raised by the portrayal of these behemoths of iron and steam. Overall, readers will find that this research breaks with prior literary criticism that largely discusses technology and modernity in Chekhov from a pessimistic perspective.
