Overview of class

Before Tolstoy and Dostoevsky came three canonical 19th century Russian writers: Pushkin, Gogol, and Lemontov. In this early era, Russia was heavily in dialogue with Western European culture, which introduced Russia to a new genre of writing- the novel. Stepped in poetry, the gothic and the Romantic, these writers' groundbreaking works resounded through the generations that followed. We explore the history, culture, and society that produced these long-studied classic of Russian literature.
