Start your review of Inspector and Other Plays. I had read all of Gogol's fiction, except for his plays, which were hard to find. Recently, a wonderful edition of The Inspector was published by Theatre Communications Group and translated by none other than Pevear and Volokhonsky. I immediately bought and read it as all of Gogol's works, it was wonderful. Gogol also wrote two other plays, though - Marriage and The Gamblers - which I just couldn't find in a properly translated English edition. Then I stumbled on this collection, published by I had read all of Gogol's fiction, except for his plays, which were hard to find. Then I stumbled on this collection, published by Methuen Drama never heard of it before, to be honest. Re-reading The Government Inspector in a different translation can never hurt this is always the case for translated works, of course - the more translations you read, the betterwhile I finally got to read Gogol's other plays to complete my reading of his fiction. This edition has a good introduction and is nicely printed i. Marriage was The Government Inspector and Other Works me laughing out loud in several instances - it's pure Gogol. The Gamblers was not quite as good, but it was still intriguing with its plot twist near the end although, in all fairness, I saw it coming - and would The Government Inspector and Other Works most people to see it as well. View 2 comments. The Government Inspector is one of my favourite plays of all time. It is satire at its The Government Inspector and Other Works best; it shows the problems at every level of society, every occupation and without any The Government Inspector and Other Works for what people might think. Set in a small provincial government town who are expecting an inspector to arrive any day, a young man who is silly and broke, travelling back to his parents estate to The Government Inspector and Other Works for money. He arrives in the town and is mistaken for the Government Inspector. The story unfolds from there, b The Government Inspector is one of my favourite plays of all The Government Inspector and Other Works. The story The Government Inspector and Other Works from there, but it is brilliantly The Government Inspector and Other Works and clever. Oct 17, Derek Shouba rated it it was amazing. Gogol is probably responsible for much of the greatness of Russian literature. I guess we can credit his The Government Inspector and Other Works, playful, gothic imagination, or maybe we should be most thankful for his hilarious insecurities, including, perhaps, a repressed homosexuality. Feb 17, Samira rated it it was amazing. Efsane bir kitap. May 09, Keith rated it liked it. For the most part, he produces very accessible versions of plays, and frequently the only good English version of some plays. Overall, this set is good. The Inspector is a must read. I think it is very odd to include this. Gogol wrote a number of plays. It seemed to me, it was too short. There needed to be more. The changes and movements are too rapid. The letters written by the dogs are hysterical. He eventually escape his impending nuptials and sentencing by the priest by jumping out the window. Aug 21, John Jr. Eric Bentley points out in a preface that Russian has no articles didn't know that—did you? That matters more in the The Government Inspector and Other Works of Zhenitba, where we don't know whether to call it, in English, A Marriage, The Marriage, or the term for the state of matrimonial whatchamacallit, Marriage. Bentley chose to add "the" to the The Government Inspector and Other Works there, but for an unexplained reason he opted for no article in dealing with Revizor, Gogol's best-known play.

  • GOGOLIAN SPATIAL MODELS and MANKIND's POTENTIAL for REDEMPTION: a COMPARISON of “THE CARRIAGE” and DEAD SOULS Maxwell O
    GOGOLIAN SPATIAL MOD ELS AND MANKIND’S PO TENTIAL FOR REDEMPTION: A COMPARISON OF “THE CARRIAGE” AND DEAD SOULS Maxwell O. Mason A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the req uirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Christopher Putney Reader: Beth Holmgren Reader: Ivana Vuletic ABSTRACT MAXWELL O. MASON: Gogolian Spatial Models and Mankind’s Potential for Redemption: A Comparison of “The Carriage” and Dead Souls (Under the direction of Christopher Putney) This analysis explores Nikolai Gogol’s utilization of spatial models in his short story “The Carr iage” and his epic novel Dead Souls in an attempt to deduce a connection between a character’s physical environment and his potential for redemption. These works are unique in that they reflect two distinct periods of a highly formative time in Gogol’s th eological development. “The Carriage,” the earlier published of the two, represents th is period’s point of departure, whereas Dead Souls conveys the output of Gogol’s complex journey. Employing the insight of Iurii Lotman, this study examines first the dominance of evil in the “static” environments of these two works and then its subordination to “boundless” space in Dead Souls . To replace his dominant model of evil even temporarily, though, Gogol was forced to extend his vision limitlessly, a task that w as ultimately more than he could bear. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page

  • 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.

His mother descended from an army officer family, and his father, a member of the ‘petty gentry,’ was an amateur writer and playwright. Following in the footsteps of his parents, Nikolai was bilingual, both a Russian and a Ukrainian speaker. In 1820 Gogol went on to A School of Higher Art in Nezhin, a place where he began writing, and acting. He was not a popular boy--the domnant nickname for him was ‘the mysterious dwarf’, but he had a few close friends. He was, it appears, tremendously ambitious. In 1828 Gogol went to St. Petersburg, where he made premature efforts to get himself published. In 1831 he had the privilege of an introduction to Pushkin. It was in St. Petersburg that Gogol was able to bring out the first volumes of his short stories, and a couple of volumes of miscellaneous prose. On the whole he was being viewed, during this time, as a Ukrainian rather than a Russian writer. He himself furthered this national characterization, surrounded himself with Ukrainian friends, and developed a passion for Ukrainian history. In 1834 Gogol was appointed to a professorship in Mediaeval History at the University of St.
