"This interesting study of Gogol and Hawthorne points out the similarities in the works, ideas, and careers of the two authors. Lounsbery's book, as the first major comparison of the works, ideas, and careers of one of America's and one of Russia's most original nineteenth-century writers, is one of great importance to Gogol and Hawthorne specialists, as well as scholars of comparative literature."-Maya Zeigler, Slavic and East European Journal.
