Review
“This is a wonderful book, the culmination of many years of reading and meditation, of intense engagement with the enigma of Gogol. . . . We have a believable, convincing picture of a real man, seen against a broad background of the ideas and artistic fashions afloat in his age.”—Hugh McLean, University of California, Berkeley
“A thoughtful, clever, and imaginative analysis of Gogol’s art, and one that breaks significant new ground. . . . Maguire has produced a distinctive and elegant contribution to Anglo-American Gogol criticism.”—Journal of European Studies

An extraordinary book on Gogol,
By A Customer
This review is from: Exploring Gogol (Paperback)
This is the most brilliant book on Gogol that I have read. Appealing to the layperson and Gogol scholar alike, it weaves textual analysis, biography, and cultural and literary history into an insightful, integrated and often surprising analysis of Gogol's work.
