Course Title:
Russian Literature of the 19th Century (RUSS 270)
School:
University of North Carolina
Description:
In the course of the nineteenth century, Russian literature underwent a brilliant development, out of which emerged some of the greatest writers in history. Each of these writers pushed the limits of literature, solving problems of representation in original and creative ways. Because of their tendency to respond to and build upon what their predecessors had accomplished, these writers created a dynamic "literary evolution." Our study will explore not only the dynamic evolution of literary life in Russia, but also the importance of the writer in the political development of a nation. Nineteenth-century Russian writers were intensely engaged with contemporaneous social, political, and cultural phenomena in Russia. For this reason, reading the works of Pushkin, Tolstoy, or Dostoevsky gives us an excellent glimpse at Russian history of the period, as well as revealing the philosophical and moral issues that concerned writers of Russian (and often the West) at the time.
