LIT 5017 - Spring 2025 - Winegardner

This course is cross-listed with Modern Languages and will be team-taught by Mark Winegardner and Lisa Wakamiya (Modern Languages). It will emphasize developments in the craft of short story writing, the history of the genre, and its reception. It will focus on the nineteenth-century short story as practiced by Gogol, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, along with additional literary and critical readings. No reading knowledge of Russian is required; those who know Russian are encouraged to read the works in the original.
