Hingley has also written an introduction specifically for this volume in which he provides a detailed history of Chekhov's involvement in the theater and an assessment of his accomplishment as a dramatist.Four Major Plays (Oxford World's Classics) by Federico Garcia Lorca, "I have made a terrible discovery ...
