| RUSSIAN 150. Revolutionary Visions: Twentieth-Century Russian Literature This course introduces students to twentieth-century Russian literature, its cultural and historical contexts, and its evolution across a century marked by revolution, war, repression, and dramatic social change. Along the way, students will develop their skills in the critical analysis of fiction and poetry. We begin with the Symbolist and Decadent movements at the turn of the twentieth century before examining how Soviet writers sought to create new forms of art for a revolutionary society. We then turn to literature produced under and after Stalin, exploring both officially sanctioned works and voices that challenged or existed outside the Soviet cultural establishment. Finally, we consider the uncertainties and possibilities of the post-Soviet era. Authors include Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Isaak Babel, Viktor Pelevin, and Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, as well as Nobel laureates Ivan Bunin, Boris Pasternak, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and Joseph Brodsky. Writing assignments will be designed to accommodate students' individual interests and encourage independent exploration of the course themes. All readings will be in English translation. | ||
