PART I
Originally entitled
'Dead Souls', Gogol was obliged to rename it "Tchitchikoff's
Journeys" by the Petersburg Censors, after being turned
down by the Moscow Censors on the grounds that it showed "Gogol
was taking up arms against Immortality".
EXTRAS

Preface, 'From the Author to the Reader'. Two Portraits
of Gogol. A Table of Russian Ranks, valuable in understanding
the hierarchy of Russian society. Textual Annotations.
