RUSSIAN 150, Spring 2024 Revolutionary Visions: 20th-Century Russian Literature This course is designed to give students an understanding of 20th-century Russian literature, its origins, cultural context, and evolution. Students will also sharpen their skills in critically assessing fiction and poetry. We will begin with the turn-of-the-century Symbolist/ Decadent movement, then look at how Soviets tried to develop a new literature that reflected their new, post-Revolutionary society. Afterwards, we will explore official and unofficial literature after Stalin. Finally, we will read works from the disorienting post-Soviet decade. Authors include Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Isaak Babel, Viktor Pelevin, Lyudmila Petrushevskaya as well as Nobel Laureates Ivan Bunin, Boris Pasternak, Alexander Solzenitsyn, and Joseph Brodsky. Writing assignments will be developed to reflect the individual interests of each student. All literature will be read in English translation. | ||
