Course Information
Description
In this course we will focus on the works of Aleksander Pushkin (1799-1837). We will read a wide range of Pushkin's lyric poetry, longer poemy, dramatic works, and prose in the original Russian and discuss them as both literary facts, as Formalist critics would put it, and as reflections on Russian cultural, social, and political history. We will employ a range of approaches to Pushkin and discuss the major touchstones of Pushkin criticism.
Course Notes
Open to qualified undergraduates with permission of instructor. Reading knowledge of Russian is required.
