Publisher's Synopsis

Presents a tripartite thesis - that the Orthodox religion (though not Russian Orthodox) functions as a sub-text throughout Gogol's work; that Gogol works were of a moralist vein; and that Gogol's "torch" was passed not to Russian Orthodox writers, but to Jewish writers of Yiddish tales.
