Some Chekhov this time: Three Sisters. PG uses the Julius West translation (page scans); this is the Scribner edition, and apparently also used by Dover Thrift paperbacks. Incidentally, this translation calls the play “The Three Sisters;” I would argue that the most common modern title, which is also used on Wikipedia, is without the definite article. As far as I can tell, the only other PD translation is by Jenny Covan. (In fact, there aren’t many PD translations of Chekhov’s major plays.) Modern scholarship about translations seems to focus on the plethora of modern translations (if you want a funny read, check out this scathing review of one such example). West’s translation turns up about 4 times as many Google results. Once I have the translation choice OK’d, I’ll actually start the process.
I have two good options (and a couple backups) for cover art. I’m more of a fan of the first option, I think: it was painted much closer in time to the writing of the play and the people in the painting are actually sisters, though the sisters in question are not Russian. The second option has the advantage of being European, if that matters, and looking more dour, which also feels thematically relevant. For the first, I can’t tell if I like the closer crop that makes the women take up more of the frame, or the farther crop where you can see that it’s the three of them sitting on their own.

The first one is already in use for Zuleika Dobson, but it might be a
better match for this play IF the costume is appropriate. Are the three
sisters aristocrats that would dress that way for a fancy portrait?
If it's a good match then we can use this one for Checkhov provided you
find a replacement for Zuleika Dobson. Zuleika is a highly attractive
young woman who hypnotizes men with her unusual beauty, but she is
ultimately unattainable. So a portrait in a similar vein as the current
one would do.

Well, that's a thematic question. The sisters view themselves as that sort of person, and are planning to return to Moscow from the more provincial city where they live. By the end of the play, they are absolutely not: their house has been mortgaged to pay their brother's gambling debts and they are stuck in their city indefinitely.

OK, I’m going to go ahead with the Julius West translation, and I’m leaning towards the second option for cover art unless anybody else who’s read the play can chip in with an opinion to the contrary.

How do I handle stage directions within stage directions? My instinct is just to cut the brackets out entirely in an editorial commit.

At the end of acts it says “Curtain” without the formatting that normally accompanies stage directions. Should I do this differently to other stage directions?

My instinct is those are just parenthetical comments within the stage directions. I would leave them in parentheses.
And just remove the curtain stage direction.

OK, I’ve put them in parentheses (not brackets) and removed the curtain stage directions.
I have a couple questions about the dramatic personae (which I’ve renamed to “Characters):
- I’ve made an editorial commit to change [Ages are stated in brackets.] to (Ages are stated in parentheses.) given that they are using parentheses
- Should this note about ages be not-italicised?
- How do I do the bracket to show that Olga/Masha/Irina are his sisters? Should I try to replicate “together” dialogue-style bars in a table?
- Ghosts uses italicised text for the names and normal text for the descriptions in lines underneath. I have considered this, but the CSS targeting that’s used there probably won’t work for the sisters and it’s not a clear cut distinction (e.g. Masha name in Kuligin’s description)

Yes. That kind of big bracket isn't really possible in the general case,

so use a 1px border instead

Follow whatever is done in previous dramatis personae. We normalize it

OK, I think I’ve replicated it well enough. Here’s my repo: https://github.com/ACBSmith/anton-chekhov_three-sisters_julius-west. Would you mind taking a particular look at the dramatis personae?
I’ve based the formatting on Ghosts. Can I request that if we like this, we formally codify this style of descriptions in the manual?

You don't need to put the characters and descriptions in separate <p>s.
They can go on one line, in the same font style. Ghosts should be
updated, I'll do that soon

Sorry, I specifically mean the second line with description being not italicised. The CSS that’s been added to Ghosts for this is:
[epub|type~="z3998:dramatis-personae"] li p + p{
font-style: normal;
text-indent: 0;
}
This isn’t in the manual or the examples.

Oh, OK–if Ghosts isn’t right, I’ll undo that.
I would note that I quite like the look of the description of the character being in a different font style. The page scans for the Chekhov do it by making the character names small caps, much like our persona tags. I think it helps delineate the character name nicely.

Wasn't sure if the cover was settled, but I came across this picture of three women (and titled "At the Play", appropriately enough for a play!) in a 1909 collection of paintings. https://archive.org/details/picturesof1909pa00lond/page/23/mode/1up. I have had absolutely no luck finding a high resolution image, though... John Henry Frederick Bacon isn't the best known of painters, it appears.

I suspect not, I’m afraid, if a high-res version doesn’t exist.

I'm going to put this on hold. I've realised that I've been putting off proofreading because my pandemic-induced burned-out brain can't handle anything quite so miserable at the moment. I love this play and will come back to it, but I'm going to find myself a nice farce to do first. (Any suggestions would be welcome)

These still some Wilde, Take a look at Arthur Pinero for 19th century or Goldsmith for 18th century. Brandon’s Chalrey’s Aunt is a favourite but only enough Gutenberg hasn’t transcribed it yet.

OK, this is now ready for review. Clean build, no lint, etc.
- One lingering question I have is about use of <persona> tags. My understanding is that they’re only used for named characters, so I’ve omitted them for “the maid” and some musicians that pass across the stage.
- I’ve left “thirty-five thousand” left written out. I think because it’s a round number, it’s not precise, and doesn’t need turning into digits
I must say, I’ve not enjoyed this production overmuch. I found the translation much clunkier than the modern one I first read and wanted nothing so much as to go through with an [Editorial] chainsaw and strip what felt to me to be excessive ellipses.

Not every book is a winner, unfortunately. But at least you can say
you've read another Chekhov play.
