  • From the Writer
    From the Writer As my class was discussing “The Portrait,” a short story by Nikolai Gogol, we touched briefly on the topic of perception and the ways in which the artist in Gogol’s story loses control of the portrait he paints. I had been having trouble determining what to write about in my second paper, and I decided to pursue that subject because the gap between a writer’s intentions and the way his work is interpreted interests me. After I explored that theme in my second paper, I decided to return to it for my fourth paper and bring Dostoevsky’s Poor Folk into the discussion, as well as “The Overcoat,” another short story by Gogol. While it had been relatively easy to see the theme of the artist losing control of his work in “The Portrait,” I had a little more trouble connecting the other two stories to the topic in a meaning- ful way. Through studying critical essays onPoor Folk and analyzing the relevant sections of the text closely, I developed a position on Dostoevsky’s relevance to the subject, noting that he creates one of his characters, Makar Devushkin, as an amateur literary critic who misinterprets Gogol’s work. Once I began to find the connections the three stories shared, my interest in the concept helped me put together a strong argument. — Georgianne Maroon 13 Georgianne Maroon Prize Essay Winner Dostoevsky and Gogol’s Acknowledgments of Writers’ Limitations One of the more frustrating realizations most writers make during their careers is that their work, no matter how hard they try to craft it to communicate certain messages to their readers, always has the potential to be misinterpreted and misunderstood.

  • 1 Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) the Overcoat Translated by Constance
    1 Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) The Overcoat Translated by Constance Garnett Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was a Russian writer born in Ukraine and considered a founder of Russian realism, although elements of romanticism and the grotesque permeate his work. His most widely-read novels are Taras Bulba (1835), a historical romance, and Dead Souls (1842), a satirical novel critical of the Tsarist regime. “The Overcoat,” also known as “The Cloak,” was published in 1842. Fyodor Dostoyevsky is supposed to have said that all modern literature has come out of Gogol’s overcoat. In the department of—but it is better not to mention the department. There is nothing more irritable than departments, regiments, courts of justice, and, in a word, every branch of public service. Each individual attached to them nowadays thinks all society insulted in his person. Quite recently a complaint was received from a justice of the peace, in which he plainly demonstrated that all the imperial institutions were going to the dogs, and that the Czar's sacred name was being taken in vain; and in proof he appended to the complaint a romance in which the justice of the peace is made to appear about once every ten lines, and sometimes in a drunken condition. Therefore, in order to avoid all unpleasantness, it will be better to describe the department in question only as a certain department. So, in a certain department there was a certain official—not a very high one, it must be allowed—short of stature, somewhat pock-marked, red-haired, and short-sighted, with a bald forehead, wrinkled cheeks, and a complexion of the kind known as sanguine.

  • A Comparative Study of the Literary Output of Nikolai Gogol
    The Aesthetics of Effacement: A Comparative Study of the Literary Output of Nikolai Gogol and Oscar Wilde PhD Thesis 2019 Brigit Katharine McCone Student no. 09129731 1 I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Signed ___________________________________________________ 2 SUMMARY This thesis marks the first comprehensive comparative study of the literary output of Nikolai Gogol and Oscar Wilde, from an intersectional perspective blending genre theory, queer theory, postcolonial theory and Jungian psychoanalysis, to examine the authors as sexually and ethnically closeted while estimating the impact of this closeting on their fiction. The thesis concludes that Nikolai Gogol and Oscar Wilde have significant parallels in their conception of the artistic process, explicable by a shared exposure anxiety, significant stylistic parallels, explicable by a shared imperative to generate interpretative suspense and facilitate plausibly deniable self-expression, and significant thematic parallels in their treatment of sexuality, ethnicity and identity, explicable by a shared experience of sexual and ethnic closeting. By establishing that all major sexual themes in the fiction of Nikolai Gogol have direct parallels in the fiction of Oscar Wilde, this thesis contributes to the contextualization of Gogol as a closeted writer, while proposing new aesthetic frameworks for the evaluation of Oscar Wilde. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I am grateful for the advice and encouragement of my supervisor, Dr Sarah Smyth, of the Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies of Trinity College Dublin, and my co-supervisor, Dr Paul Delaney of the School of English, and my two examiners Jarlath Killeen and Claire Whitehead.

  • Gogol's Vestmental Term “Shinel (The Overcoat)” As “Daguerreotype”
    SHS Web of Conferences 50, 01239 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20185001239 CILDIAH-2018 Gogol’s Vestmental Term “Shinel (The Overcoat)” as “Daguerreotype” of Mediocrity Saiana Ozer*, PhD in Linguistics, Department of Theoretical & Applied Linguistics, Russian-Tajik Slavonic University Abstract. In the first half of the 19th century, the theme of ‘a small’ man, an ordinary and inconspicuous person, appeared in the literature. Different writers described the daily unremarkable life of mediocre people in detail. Such writers as Anton Chekhov, Alexander Kuprin, Maxim Gorky, Leonid Andreyev, Fyodor Sologub, Arkady Averchenko, Konstantin Trenyov, Ivan Shmelyov, Semyon Yushkevich, etc. dwelled later on the same topic. Under the guise of criticism of philistine life, Mikhail Zoshchenko, Mikhail Bulgakov, Vladimir Voinovich continued the tradition of “the small man’s menology” during the era of socialist realism. Despite numerous literary attempts to describe small men’s expectations, “The Shinel (Overcoat)” by Nikolai Gogol undoubtedly is the cornerstone of those works. Fyodor Dostoyevsky stated, “We all come out from Gogol's ‘Overcoat’.” Literary critics are fascinated by this story because of its scale, multi-layered conception, hidden spirituality and a prophetic encoded message. Characteristics of the protagonist change from positive to completely opposite, depending on the ideological mood of the reader. The only thing that can scare any sensible person is the rebellion of a small wrathful man who becomes merciless. The offended person easily turns from a harmless creature into a scoundrel, destroying everything to achieve his ephemeral goal. 1 Introduction Who will agree to admit Bashmachkin's lifestyle as a model for imitation in our days? Probably no one.

  • Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol the Overcoat
    Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol The Overcoat "The Overcoat" is a short story by Ukrainian-born Russian author Nikolai Gogol, published in 1843. The story and its author have had great influence on Russian literature, as expressed in a quote attributed to Fyodor Dostoevsky: "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'." The story has been adapted into a variety of stage and film interpretations. 1 The Overcoat. Nikolai Gogol In the department of... but it would be better not to say in which department. There is nothing more irascible than all these departments, regiments, offices in short, all this officialdom. Nowadays every private individual considers the whole of society insulted in his person. They say a petition came quite recently from some police chief, I don't remember of what town, in which he states clearly that the government's decrees are perishing and his own sacred name is decidedly being taken in vain. And as proof he attached to his petition a most enormous tome of some novelistic work in which a police chief appears on every tenth page, in some places even in a totally drunken state. And so, to avoid any unpleasantness, it would be better to call the department in question a certain department. And so, in a certain department there served a certain clerk; a not very remarkable clerk, one might say short, somewhat pockmarked, somewhat red-haired, even with a somewhat nearsighted look, slightly bald in front, with wrinkles on both cheeks and a complexion that is known as hemorrhoidal. No help for it! the Petersburg climate is to blame.

  • DOI: 10.7596/Taksad.V4i3.462 the Intertextual Dimension of Otherness
    Tarih Kültür ve Sanat Araştırmaları Dergisi (ISSN: 2147-0626) Journal of History Culture and Art Research Vol. 4, No. 3, September 2015 Revue des Recherches en Histoire Culture et Art Copyright © Karabuk University http://kutaksam.karabuk.edu.tr/index.php ﻣﺠﻠﺔ ﺍﻟﺒﺤﻮﺙ ﺍﻟﺘﺎﺭﻳﺨﻴﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺜﻘﺎﻓﻴﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﻔﻨﻴﺔ DOI: 10.7596/taksad.v4i3.462 The Intertextual Dimension of Otherness in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake1 Liviu Augustin Chifane2 Abstract The work of the Pulitzer prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri has been referred to as a solid representation of diaspora and immigrant literature. One of her most famous books, the novel The Namesake (2003), illustrates the experience of dislocation psychologically exploring the identity crisis and the sense of alienation. Nevertheless, the novel offers the opportunity of a trans-textual approach that leads to a philosophical vision of the traditional issues of alterity. The aim of the paper is to explore the extent to which an intertextual reading of the novel can provide a better understanding of the multitude of socio-cultural and identity questions the book raises. The resonance of Nikolai Gogol’s name, work and tumultuous existence transgresses the pages in layers of meaningful interpretation of Otherness as a duality of name and cultural affiliation. The never read essential text, Gogol’s short story The Overcoat, shapes the tragic paternal imagery in a continual struggle of the inner self to clarify the sense of displacement and hybridity. Keywords: Otherness, Immigrant literature, Intertextuality, Cultural identity, Duality, Cultural shock. 1 This paper was presented in the 2nd English Studies Conference which was held between 8-10 May 2015 in Karabuk University.
