Chekhov and Melville?

[Melissa Miller]

Dear All,

I have a student who is interested in the possibility of a connection between Chekhov and Herman Melville. If anyone has any leads about whether or not Chekhov had read Melville (in translation most likely) or knew of him generally, I would appreciate it!

Please reply off-list to mmiller8 at wisc.edu

Thanks in advance,
