One of the great writers of the nineteenth century, Nikolai Gogol
was born and raised in Ukraine before he was lionized and canonized
in Russia. The ambiguities within his subversive, ironic works are
matched by those that surround the debate over his national
identity. This book presents a completely new assessment of the
problem: rather than adopting the predominant "either/or"
perspective - wherein Gogol is seen as either Ukrainian or Russian
- it shows how his cultural identity was a product of negotiation
with imperial and national cultural codes and values. By examining
Gogol's ambivalent self-fashioning, language performance, and
textual practices, this book shows how Gogol played with both
imperial and local sources of identity and turned his hybridity
into a project of subtle cultural resistance. Ilchuk provides a
comprehensive account of assimilation and hybridization of
Ukrainians in the Russian empire, arguing that Russia's imperial
culture has depended on Ukraine and the participation of Ukrainian
intellectuals in its development. Ilchuk also introduces innovative
computer-assisted methods of textual analysis to demonstrate the
palimpsest-like quality of Gogol's texts and national identity.
