title: The Enigma of Gogol: An Examination of the Writings of N. V. Gogol and their Place in the Russian Literary Tradition (Cambridge Studies in Russian Literature)
author: Richard Peace
description: Professor Peace argues that Gogol has, as a writer, close affinities with the Russian Middle Ages and that his ambiguous position in the great humanist tradition of nineteenth-century Russian literature springs from his attempts to come to terms with the cultural impact of Sentimentalism, and its later development Romanticism.

  **About Gogol:**  
  
  
  Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (April 1, 1809 — March 4, 1852) was a
  
  
  Russian-language writer of Ukrainian origin. Although his early
  
  
  works were heavily influenced by his Ukrainian heritage and
  
  
  upbringing, he wrote in Russian and his works belong to the
  
  
  tradition of Russian literature. The novel Dead Souls (1842), the
  
  
  play Revizor (1836, 1842), and the short story The Overcoat (1842)
  
  
  count among his masterpieces. Source: Wikipedia
