Gogol, Nikolai - The Rise Of Prose Describes Gogol's role in making prose the dominant form in Russian literature. to the famous story by Gogol). Nikolai Gogol (18091852). Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol was born in the Mirgorod district http://www1.umn.edu/lol-russ/hpgary/Russ3421/lesson6.htm
Extractions: Study Notes The great achievement of this age of prose, from the 1840s to the 1890s, was Russian Realism (discussed in the sequel to this course, Russ 3422Russian Literature: Tolstoy to the Present). Our concern here is to have a look at the beginnings of Russian prose. We have seen that after 1830 Pushkin turned more and more to prose, a significant fact given that Pushkin was the greatest poet of the time. The writer who did most to establish prose as a force in Russian literary culture, however, was Gogol. Gogol's example, combined with the authoritative literary pronouncements of the greatest literary critic of the period, V. G. Belinsky, established prose as the literary medium of the future. The great novelist Dostoevsky is supposed to have said, referring to himself and his fellow Realists, "We have all come out from under Gogol's 'Overcoat'" (referring to the famous story by Gogol). Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol was born in the Mirgorod district of the Ukraine in 1809. His early life was spent on his father's country estate. Gogol's father was also a writer; his works, many of which were written for the Ukrainian puppet theater, are in Ukrainian, and he is classed as a Ukrainian writer. His son, however, decided to write in Russian. Nikolai Gogol moved to St. Petersburg in 1828 with the intention of becoming a full-time professional writer. His first published work, a long narrative in verse, was received with indifference by the critics, and the sensitive Gogol fled from Russia in shame. When he returned from Europe in 1829, Gogol first tried to find work as an actor, but was eventually forced to take a minor post in the civil service to support himself. His experiences in the government bureaucracy are reflected in some of his later stories, especially "The Nose" and "The Overcoat."
Extractions: Gogol was born March 20, 1809, in Sorochintsy, Mirgorod, Poltava Province, of Cossack parents. In 1828 he went to Saint Petersburg, where he eventually secured employment in the civil service and became known in literary circles. Enthusiastic praise greeted his volume of short stories of Ukrainian life, Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka (1831). Then followed another collection, Mirgorod (1835), containing "Taras Bulba," which was expanded in 1842 into a full-length novel; this work, dealing with 16th-century Cossack life, revealed the writer's great ability for accurate and sympathetic character portrayal and his sparkling humor. In 1836 Gogol's play The Inspector General appeared. A rollicking satire on the cupidity and stupidity of bureaucratic officials, it is a comedy of errors regarded by many critics as one of the most significant plays in Russian literature. It concerns the local officials of a small town who mistake a young traveler for an expected government inspector and offer him propitiatory bribes to induce him to overlook their misconduct in office.

Extractions: Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol Nikolai Gogol is widely acknowledged as nineteenth-century Russias best comic writer, as well as a master of Russian prose. Interestingly enough, Gogol was born and schooled in Ukraine and only moved to the Russian capital of St. Petersburg in 1828 at the age of 19. In St. Petersburg, Gogol established his reputation as a writer with his play, The Inspector General (1836), and several collections of short stories, which included masterpieces such as "Diary of a Madman" (1835), "The Nose" (1836), and "The Overcoat" (1842). Gogols greatest novel, Dead Souls , created a sensation in Russian society when the first part appeared in print in 1842. However, the author never completed the second or third parts of the trilogy he had planned for Dead Souls . Instead, Gogol died in 1852, starving himself to death in a religiously induced version of anorexia nervosa, which one critic attributes to the authors alleged homosexuality.
