nineteenth-century Russian literature and trends such as Romanticism
and
Realism which dominated the literary scene.
REQUIREMENTS:
Two
exams, a comprehensive final exam, and a ten-page paper. Attendance is
mandatory: five or more absences will result in the lowering of your

conflict with a test date, I will allow you to take the exam early,
provided

nature and
is to make use of several items of literary criticism.
