Course Description:
This class offers an introductory survey of key 19th Century Russian literary movements and authors, including Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ivan Turgenev, Lev Tolstoy, Karolina Pavlova and Anton Chekhov. While our class will remain rooted in the 19th century, the novels we will read – such as Crime and Punishment and Dead Souls – have transcended their specific historical context to become timeless international classics.
