AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Our first-year course introduces students to Russian literature and culture from its medieval origins to the mid 1800s; in the second year, students focus more specifically on problems of literary style and evolution by examining texts from the 19th and 20th centuries that are linked by a particular theme; students who take the third-year course will go still more deeply into the literature and culture of a more specific historical period (such as the first half of the 20th century). LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO) This course aims to provide students with (1) the basic tools of literary analysis; (2) thorough knowledge of several works significant for Russian literary tradition through the optic of the theme “Love-Not Love”; (3) general knowledge of the main cultural figures and events from the period in question.
