“Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809-1852) and Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) are two writers whose names invariably seem to appear in critical discussion of romantic literature. Very few critics have chosen to examine the works of Gogol and Hawthorne in direct comparison with one another, a fact that seems an even more striking oversight given the voluminous amount of criticism produced on both Gogol and Hawthorne in comparison to Hoffmann or Tieck. In an attempt to remedy this critical shortfall, I will examine the short fiction of Hawthorne and Gogol together, comparing the manner in which each author uses symbolic and physical embodiments of evil in his work.”
