These four Russians are, each in his own way, the first great writers of modern Russian prose. They preceded Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and wrote in a range of moods about madmen, gamblers, cynics, elusive noses, snobbish dogs, superfluous people, corrupt government, country life, city life, aristocrats, bureaucrats, peasants, love troubles, duels, and more. They also wrote as they lived: Pushkin led a wild love life; both he and Lermontov died in duels; and all four were exiled. The reading includes novels, short stories, and one play by Gogol. Required Texts: Pushkin, Alexandr, The Complete Prose Tales Instructor(s): John Wilson Time(s): Mon. and Weds., 1:00 - 2:20 PM Place(s): Bldg. 494, Room 143 << Back |
