Pushkin's poetry brilliantly reflects the expressive
potential of the Russian language. In its play with
contemporary genres and styles it also establishes Russian
literature's central role in defining and redefining Russian
culture. This course will read Pushkin both ways: as the
"Pushkin -tour" of the Russian language's expressive
potential and as Pushkin's creative articulation of Russian
culture in the 1820s and 1830s. All readings will be
conducted in Russian. Lectures and discussions will be in
Russian and English.
