In this course, we will explore some of the texts that make up this Rosetta stone. It was during the 19th century that a Russian national literature emerged, developed, and acquired that international reputation which has since given it a prominent place in world literary history. As we read some of the most celebrated works from the Golden Age of Russian literature – by Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Turgenev, Goncharov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov – we will attempt to account for the distinct character of Russian literature and its unique role in Russian history and culture.
