Robert Louis Jackson的作品
Robert Louis Jackson was B. E. Bensinger Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Yale, where he taught from 1954 until his retirement in 2002. Author of six monographs, seven edited volumes, and over a hundred articles, Jackson is best known for his groundbreaking work on the art of Dostoevsky; he is likewise renowned for his extraordinary readings of Chekhov’s work. Jackson wrote extensively on Turgenev and Tolstoy as well, exploring in all his scholarship the moral, religious, and philosophical questions he sensed at the very heart of Russian literature and culture. As one of the architects of the Yale Slavic Department; as creator and convener of the Annual Yale Slavic Conference; as founder, then president, of both the International Dostoevsky Society and the International Chekhov Society, Jackson contributed palpably to the development of Slavic Languages and Literatures—both the Department and the field that gave him the freedom to work on what mattered to him most, in a way that felt entirely his own. Cathy Popkin is Jesse and George Siegel Professor Emerita in the Humanities at Columbia University. She is the author of The Pragmatics of Insignificance: Chekhov, Zoshchenko, Gogol, editor of the Norton Critical Edition of Anton Chekhov’s Selected Stories, and co-editor of Teaching Nineteenth-Century Russian Literature: Essays in Honor of Robert L. Belknap. She has also published a range of influential articles on Chekhov’s prose.
