Russian Short Fiction from Romanticism to Postmodernism (SERS0062)

For affiliate students only studying at UCL in Term 1.

 This module offers an introduction to Russian prose of the 19th and 20th centuries. A varied selection of texts are studied in chronological order, ranging from Aleksandr Pushkin’s ‘The Queen of Spades’ to Tat’iana Tolstaia’s ‘Rendezvous with a Bird’. The module is intended as a foundation for the work on literature undertaken in later years. The emphasis is on close textual analysis, rather than contextualization. Those on the ab initio Russian-language modules will be studying these texts in English but with increasing reference to the Russian texts as the module progresses. Those entering the degree on the post A-level mode will be expected to read the texts in Russian. The module also contains a study skills element to help with essay writing and commentaries; as far as the latter is concerned, this takes the form of regular commentary classes during which the students will be asked to discuss short fragments from the set texts from the stylistic and formal point of view.
