Russian Novel: Crimes and Punishment - 2021/22

Welcome! This course examines the development of the Russian novel between 1860 and 1880. We will focus on Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment and Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, two novels about individuals, a man and a woman, who attempted to place themselves outside society and who are “punished” accordingly. In both cases, this emancipation from social and moral constraints becomes the occasion for a unique, profoundly influential piece of narrative art and for a sustained exploration of the spiritual, moral, and social ingredients of the modern condition.
