This course offers a thorough overview of the work of the great nineteenth century novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, and detailed discussion of four texts: Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, and The Brothers Karamazov. Coverage of each text will include class discussion, student presentations (one from each member of the class), and analysis of selected excerpts in the original Russian. Due reference will be made to historical and cultural background, thematic concerns of the novelist, and questions of form.
