Course Description:
An intensive reading in Russian of Pushkin's iconic narrative poem about the great flood of 1824 in St. Petersburg. Students will gain an understanding and appreciation of the elements of versification, including meter, rhythm, and rhyme. We will also interpret the poem's plot, including the imaginary "duel" between its central fictional character and the historical figure of Peter the Great (memorialized in the statue known as the bronze horseman). This course also exposes students to the architectural monuments of one of the world's great metropolises. |
