The writer N. Gogol belongs to the first place in the Russian cultural pantheon as a representative of Russian nationalism. Indeed, he created the most famous literary metaphor of Russia: an unrestrained, racing cart.
In her monograph the lecturer of Harvard University Edita Boyanovskaya refutes the idea prevailing in Western studies about Gogol as a Russian-centric writer. E. Boyanovskaya reveals Gogol's creative connections with the ideologists of Ukrainian nationalism and draws the reader's attention to the powerful power of irony in his works on the theme of Russian life.
