Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 201709=13626

Newly westernized and neuroticized, educated Russians in the nineteenth century agonized in unusually creative ways over the nature of love and desire, gender roles and the position of women in society, marriage, sex, family life, adultery, etc. This course examines how these concerns were played out in rich and sometimes steamy detail in nineteenth-century Russian literature. Readings include poetry, novels (notably Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina), novellas, stories, memoirs, and letters by both women and men. Discussion format, short lectures. Taught in English.

Enrollment Limit: 40
Instructor: T. Newlin
