But let the word atmosphere be taken literally to mean that Chekhov has contrived to shed over us a luminous vapor in which life appears as it is, without veils, transparent and visible to the depths. And, given time, something might be said in greater detail of the causes which produced this atmosphere-the strange dislocated sentences, each so erratic and yet cutting out the shape so firmly, of the realism, of the humor, of the artistic unity. ![]() It is, as a rule, when a critic does not wish to commit himself or to trouble himself, that he refers to atmosphere.
