During the mid-1880s, Chekhov practiced as a physician and began to publish serious works of fiction under his own name. He wrote many of his greatest works from the 1890s through the last few years of his life. In his plays of these years, Chekhov concentrated primarily on mood and characters, showing that they could be more important than the plots. Not much seems to happen to his lonely, often desperate characters, but their inner conflicts take on great significance. Their stories are very specific, painting a picture of pre-revolutionary Russian society, yet timeless. From the late 1890s Chekhov collaborated with the Moscow Art Theater on productions of his plays, including his masterpieces The Seagull (1895), Uncle Vanya (1897), The Three Sisters (1901) and The Cherry Orchard (1904). In 1901, Chekhov married Olga Knipper, an actress from the Moscow Art Theatre. His health was in decline due to the tuberculosis that had affected him since his youth. While staying at a health resort in Badenweiler, Germany, he died in 1904. He influenced James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway and other writers.
