This he resigned at the end of a year and devoted himself entirely to literature. In 1836 Gogol left Russia. He lived most of the time in Rome. In 1837 he wrote 'Dead Souls.' In 1840 he went to Russia for a short period in order to superintend the publication of the first volume of 'Dead Souls, ' and then returned to Italy.

He also wrote 'The Mantle, ' 'Evenings at the Farm, ' 'St Petersburg Stories, ' 'Taras Bulba, ' a tale of the Cossacks, 'The Revizor, ' a comedy, etc.-From The Century Cyclop dia of Names.
