EL 4650 - Lit of Russia & Eastern Europe

Institution:

SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

English

Description:

This course is a sampling of the wonders of the Russian literacy imagination, or, as Vladimir Nabokov might say, of its peculiar magic. No other literature has so influenced literature and thought in the rest of the world; perhaps no other national literature has produced so many world masterpieces in so short time, the 185 years or so since Alexander Pushkin¿s first publication. Russian literature is unique in its engagements with the social world, as Russia has gone through two centuries of political struggles and revolutions, but it also explore the privacy of the human heart and the giant questions of philosophy and religion. The course devotes roughly equal time to 19th and 20th century literature and, in most offerings, will include some literature from Russian- influenced countries in Eastern Europe. Prerequisite: EMS
