Book Synopsis Exploring Gogol by : Robert A. Maguire

Download or read book Exploring Gogol written by Robert A. Maguire and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 150 years, critics have referred to 'the Gogol problem', by which they mean their inability to account for a life and work that are puzzling, often opaque, yet have proved consistently fascinating to generations of readers. This book proceeds on the assumption that Gogol's life and work, in all their manifestations, form a whole; it identifies, in ways that have eluded critics to date, the rhetorical strategies and thematic patterns that create the unity. These larger concerns emerge from a close study of the major texts, fictional and nonfictional, and in turn are set in a broad artistic and intellectual context, Russian and European, with special attention to German philosophy, the visual arts, and Orthodox Christian theology.
