RUST100 PO - Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, ChekhovWhen Offered: Spring 2021.
Instructor(s): K. Klioutchkine
Credit: 1
Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Chekhov captured the human experience in the context of modernity, in which we continue to live today. The modern age emerged with the development of the media in the 19th century, when relations between people, previously based on personal contact, came to be mediated by the press, as today they are mediated by film, television and the internet. The writers whose prose we explore were fascinated by modernity and articulated salient insights into the human experience in media society. We read a selection of their major works addressing the problems of personal identity, social involvement and relations between men and women in a rapidly changing world. All readings in English.
