We will explore Russian religious thought of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with special attention to its close ties to the Russian literary tradition. We start with Chaadaev's questions about Russia's otherness, move on to Slavophile solutions, then to folk piety and religious practice, and the religious thought of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. We will then study the renaissance of Russian religious thought that took root in the work of Soloviev and Fedorov and inspired Russian modernists. The course will end with the development of these ideas in the first half of the twentieth century in Russia (Florensky) and the Paris emigration (Berdiaev, Shestov, Bulgakov, Skobtsova [Mother Maria]). Readings in religious thought will be supplemented by relevant literary texts. - Liza Knapp Not offered in 2009-2010. 3 points Knowledge of Russian not required

An introduction to Russian poetry, through the study of selected texts of major poets of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, primarily: Pushkin, Lermontov, Pavlova, Tiutchev, Blok, Mandel'shtam, Akhmatova, Mayakovsky, Prigov and Brodsky. Classes devoted to the output of a single poet will be interspersed with classes that draw together the poems of different poets in order to show the reflexivity of the Russian poetic canon. These classes will be organized according either to types of poems or to shared themes. The course will teach the basics of verisification, poetic languages (sounds, tropes), and poetic forms. Classes in English; poetry read in Russian. - K. Lodge 3 points
