This fourth-year seminar will serve as an introduction to Russian literature, history, and culture through the lens of the duel. We will read some of Russian literature’s defining texts alongside theoretical works on the Russian duel and literary criticism on the texts under examination. Special attention will be paid to the social and political circumstances that give Russian literature its unique flavor, such as Russian protocols of address, social organization, and political structures.
