Summary

Melissa L. Miller examines a new civil arena of modern professionals with changing views of sexuality that was formed during the Great Reforms of the 1860s and 1870s. Miller examines Chekhov’s participation in modern debates over sexuality, both as a doctor who in medical school was drawn to questions of sexual difference and as a writer whose frank depictions of sex and sexual affairs were paradigmatic for his time.
