FYSP 126 - Tolstoy’s War and Peace

4HU, CD, WRi
First Semester. A simultaneously close and broad reading of one of the most perverse and radically innovative works of fiction ever written. Reading the work on a number of levels and through a variety of critical lenses, we will both situate it concretely in historical contexts and grapple head-on with the unabashedly “big” and universal questions about war, peace, life, death, art, gender, free will, history, and the human condition (among other things!) that lie at its heart.
