Also included are writings on theater from Gogol's notebooks and correspondences</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>The theatrical genius of Nikolay Gogol has gone largely unappreciated by English-speaking audiences because pedantically literal translations have left his plays virtually unperformable.
