"Dama s sobachkoi"

[LeBlanc, Ronald]

If you have your students watch Josef Heifitz's 1960 film adaptation of Chekhov's story after they read the text (which I tend to do), then you might want to have them read James Palmer's "Mastering Chekhov: Heifitz's The Lady with the Dog."  It appeared in "Literature/Film Quarterly" in 1991 (vol. 19, no. 4, pp. 252-257).

It's short and sweet.  And it addresses the way Heifitz attempts to render aspects of the literary text on film.

I am reading "Dama s sobachkoi" with my third-year Russian class.

Can anyone recommend one, essential, critical article (in English) to
assign? You know, something sensitive, well-written and insightful. The
kind of thing that makes you proud to be a Slavist/ professor of
literature.
