The nineteenth-century novel is widely regarded as the
supreme achievement of Russian literature. This course will
trace the development of the Russian novel, the historical
and sociological situation in which the novels were
produced, and the tools developed by Russian critical theory
(particularly the Russian Formalists, Bakhtin and Lotman)
for understanding the monuments of 19th-century Russian
prose.
