Unlike most studies of Eastern European literature, which are limited to one language, one culture, or one nationality, Amelia M. Glaser's book The Literary Pale of Settlement primarily examines the processes of cultural exchange between authors who lived in the territory of modern Ukraine and wrote in Russian , Ukrainian and Yiddish. The author analyzes works from “Sorochinskaya Fair” (1829) by N.V. Gogol to I.E. Babel’s stories about the forced collectivization of Ukrainian villages about a century later. Amelia Glaser convincingly shows that Gogol's work had a significant influence on both Russian and Ukrainian and Jewish writers such as G. F. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko and Sholom Aleichem. The publishing layout of the book is preserved in PDF A4 format.
