Essays on Gogol - Logos and the Russian Word

These fourteen essays reflect the increasingly interdisciplinary character of Russian literature research in general and of the study of Gogol in particular, focusing on specific works, Gogol's own character, and the various approaches to aesthetic, religious, and philosophical issues raised by his writing.

"A magnificent collection of fourteen papers which encompass all that was Gogol's world. Here we have a work of textural scholarship which will set the tone and the course for future Gogolian researchers." --New England Review of Books
