Mikhail Ivanovich
"Mikhail Ivanovich"
also: Михаил Иванович
A story manuscript by Ye. M. Shavrova submitted to Chekhov for editorial comment; he finds nothing objectionable in it and praises its restraint, and singles out its treatment of the character "Mikh Iv" and Madame Zilbergrosh as well done, in contrast to the underdeveloped Shurochka.
Reading notes
- To Ye. M. Shavrova, 8 March 1891. Moscow. §3 Mikhail Ivanovich
A Shavrova manuscript Chekhov has just finished reading; he opens with reassurance -- he finds nothing objectionable in it and calls it restrained -- before turning to a joking complaint about how the story treats the character Repin.
