The Writer and His Quiff
Psyche Betrayed

"Gogol's "Diary of a Madman
Pushkin's Novelistic Prose
You praise the firm restraint with which they write-I'm with you there of course:They use the snaffle and curb all right,But where's the bloody horse?-Roy CampbellMon defaut a moi a toujours été la sécheresse, je faisais des squelettes.-Prospère MeriméeAleksandr Pushkin's cult for simple, unadorned prose is a critical commonplace that needs no further documentation. Weaned on those masters of French classicism (Jean de La Bruyère, Montesquieu, an…

The Decline of a Dynast
A A lthough the generic peculiarities of Family Chronicle have been the main focus of its investigators,1 thematics-to use the convenient neologism-has not been entirely neglected. Thus, commentators are likely to remind us that the largerthan-life proportions of old Bagrov enhance the central theme of the patriarch; that his voyage eastward rehearses the pioneering thrust which informs many narratives of exploration; or that the segments dominat…
Pushkin's Narratives and the Hex of Darkness
Among the great poets of the world Pushkin was the first to express with such power and passion the eternal opposition of the cultivated and the primitive man.D. S. MerezhkovksiiI would like to begin this investigation of Pushkinian thematics with a fable, or better perhaps, a parable of my own making.Once upon a time in the land of Rus' there lived two brothers. And although they were sired by a noble father and reared as befits the sons of a no…
The Curse of Sameness and the Gogolian Esthetic
Dar'ia's Secret; or What Happens in Moroz, Krasnyi Nos
One of Nekrasov's very greatest works, the long poem Moroz, Krasnyi Nos, which by virtue of its profound penetration into the life of the peasant and its powerful pictorial and lyrical style transcends almost everything which has been written about the Russian countryside, has yet to be studied [izucheno] in our country." So wrote Kornei Chukovskii a quarter of a century ago.The critic's complaint was surely exaggerated. After all, one of the cen…
Dostoevskii's Upsidedown Fair Y Tale
The Cooling of Pechorin
Since Viktor Shklovskii first made the distinction, critics of fictional forms who invoke the concepts of siuzhet and fabula have been prone to exalt the former at the expense of the latter. The preference is hardly surprising. The fabula is after all an abstraction. It designates the narrative in its raw or pre-aesthetic form from which the finished artistic product (siuzhet) is ultimately shaped. And it is a simple matter of definition that the…
"Gogol's "Overcoat
Circulatory, Plasma Catecholamine, Cortisol, Lipid, and Psychological Responses to a Real-Life Stress (Third Molar Extractions)
We studied the circulatory, psychological, plasma catecholamine, cortisol, and lipid responses to a real-life stress--third molar extractions--in 21 patients and the effects of sedation with intravenous diazepam and of inclusion of epinephrine with the local anesthetic. Across all patients, the surgery was associated with significantly increased heart rate (25%), systolic blood pressure (13%) and cardiac output--as indicated using impedance cardi…
Rhetoric in Tat'jana's Last Speech
A la Recherche du Nez Perdu
Although the sociology of Gogol's famous story is my central concern here, I would like to begin at one remove from my main subject and compare passages drawn from the writer's last two major works. The first, taken from Chapter 8 of Dead Souls, records the thoughts of the distraught hero, who, on leaving the provincial ball where Nozdrev has blurted out the secret of his swindle, rails at the circumstances attending his near disgrace. Beginning …

A Brackish Hippocrene

Apollo Underground
narrative of Notes from the Underground, Part II is a crescendo in three movements. first describes the young hero's bizarre schemes for wreaking vengeance on an imagined bully; the second, his efforts to insinuate himself into a band of ex-schoolmates; the third, his tortured relationships with a young prostitute named Liza. Although these adventures differ greatly in substance and tone (the first is essentially comic; the second, harshly satiri…

Prophetic" is a quality which few thoughtful readers would deny Zamiatin's We. For if its moral argument (the irreconcilability of "pure" communism and individual freedom) has, to a disturbing degree, been confirmed by the course of twentieth-century history, so have some of its boldest technological predictions (for example, stateenforced restrictions on human fertility, Communist-inaugurated space travel). Even its genre (an original blend of p…
Dream at Sea
Sometime in the decade between 1826 and 1836 Tiutchev wrote a poem entitled "Son na more" ("Dream at Sea"). A literal English translation would read as follows:Both the sea and the storm rocked our skiff; Sleepy, I was abandoned to the full caprice of the waves. The two infinities were within me, And willfully they played with me. Around me, like cymbals, resounded the cliffs. The winds replied, and the waves sang. I flew deafened in a chaos of s…

A Scapegoat for All Seasons
Pushkin'sTales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkinare five in number, and four of them ("The Shot," "The Blizzard," "The Stationmaster," and "The Lady-Peasant") belong to the same literary species. The narrative features binding this quartet of stories together are, in the main, conventional. Each relates-among other things-the story of a young man who, having won the affections of a beautiful woman, overcomes some obstacle (or series of obstacles)…
