by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol

Published 30 November 1994
These translations of Gogol's plays restore the vitality of Gogol's language and humour, finally allowing his dramatic art to speak directly to Western readers, directors, actors and theatre-goers. This volume contains ""The Government Inspector"" and ""Marriage"" - Gogol's greatest full-length plays - and a one-act satire, ""The Gamblers"". Also included are writings on theatre from Gogol's notebooks and correspondences, as well as an appendix and extensive introduction.
