- Identities in Nineteenth-Century Russophone Literature (SERS0033)
Only for affiliate students.
The module explores Russian literature and society in the nineteenth century through the prism of questions of identity. Literary, social and gender identities will be examined in order to build a picture of the forces governing Russian society and the ways in which they shape the literature of the period and, conversely, to explore how identity is constructed within a literary text. The module is split into three topics. The depiction of the estates of the realm (sosloviia), such as the gentry, merchants, clergy, is examined in order to develop knowledge of the dynamics of traditional Russian social life beyond the Europeanized capitals, and its role in literature. Questions of narrative voice, technique and structure are addressed in relation to Russian literature’s most famous ‘types’, including the ‘superfluous man’, the ‘poor clerk’ and the nihilist. The position of women in Russian society and culture is examined through an analysis of works by women writers.
