| RUSSIAN (F21) | 50 DEMONS AND PROPHETS IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE | SANDALSKA, Z. |
| A famous Russian writer once said, "All Russian literature is, to a certain extent degree, a struggle with the temptation of demonism." In this course, we will grapple with this idea. We will examine the main shaping contexts of literary demonism: the Russian Orthodox and folk tradition, the demonization of historical figures, and views of art as intrinsically demonic and, in such a way, trace the development of a literary tradition of demonism in the works of classical Russian authors ranging from Pushkin and Lermontov, Gogol and Dostoevsky, through to the poets and prose writers of modernism (including Blok, Akhmatova, Bely, Sologub, Rozanov, Zamiatin), through to the end of the 20th century. | ||
