ABSTRACT
From Among the New Books in ‘Yale Review’, January 1922, n.s. xi, 399-406.
W.L. Phelps (1865-1943) was professor in the English Department of Yale University, from 1892 to 1933, and one 222of the earliest American Chekhovian enthusiasts. His critical authority did much to influence American acceptance of Chekhov. He is concerned particularly with the reminiscences by Gorky and Bunin and the ten volumes of stories together with the ‘Letters’ translated by Constance Garnett.
