Summary
Edyta M. Bojanowska reflects on the significance of Chekhov’s arduous mid-career journey to Russia’s penal colony in the North Pacific, both in terms of the genre-bending book of documentary scholarship that the voyage yielded and in the significant reconsideration of empire, colonization, corporal punishment, and incarceration that Chekhov’s work on the island informed.
