EH 318 - Russian Literature


Credits: (4 credits)

This course consists of readings in translation by major Russian writers of the late nineteenth century through the twentieth century with an emphasis on the work of Anton Chekhov, a master of both the short story and drama (Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters). Also included are short stories by Leo Tolstoy, Boris Pasternak, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Andrei Platonov, and Evgeni Zamyatin. Poems by Anna Akhmatova, who witnessed the Czarist regime and the Communist Revolution, give an artistic and historical perspective on the conditions under which writers struggled.
