Gogol From the Twentieth Century

"In putting together this extremely useful volume, Robert Maguire has pursued a complex set of aims--to illumilnate Gogol's art in ways that must be a novel for readers who do not know Russian, to represent the principal approaches of Russian twentieth-century criticism, and at the same time to cover all of Gogol's major writings. These aims are brilliantly achieved, and it is not only the nonspecialists who will find te book stimulating ... Maguire's work as a translator and editor is exemplary."--The Russian Review
