Henry James famously called the 19th-century Russian novels “loose and baggy monsters.” In this class, students will study these creatures. Together students will read Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, Dostoevsky’s The Idiot, and Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, with a particular focus on the form and development of the novel, character psychology, and historical and cultural context.
Taught by Dr. Katherine Bowers, the class will meet virtually on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 – 3:30 pm in Term 1. Register for RUSS 306A today!
