Abstract
Abstract:Nikolai Gogol´ (1809–52) showed a fascination with clothes in both his life and his fictional writing. This article examines how he used clothing in his Petersburg stories to explore the relationship between the individual and imperial society. Imperial power was perpetuated through uniform and fashion dress codes by means of the processes of metonymy and mimesis. In Gogol´'s St Petersburg, these processes pose a danger to the individual, but also provide some limited opportunities for self-expression.
