"Revizór," in Russian, means some important functionary who has been sent by the ministry to some provincial town to inquire into the conditions of the local administration-an Inspector-General and the comedy takes place in a small town, from which "you may gallop for three years and yet arrive nowhere." The little spot-we learn it at the rising of the curtain-is going to be visited by an Inspector-General. Nikolai Gogol's prose comedy, The Inspector-General (Revizór) has become a starting point for the Russian drama-a model which every dramatic writer after Gogol has always kept before his eyes. The following essay is reprinted from Russian Literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() By the time she turned back to her visitors, she was red in the face.
