RUSS 367: DOSTOEVSKY AND GOGOL CRITICS: ORAL PRESENTATIONS |
| Each of you will make an oral presentations on a critical article on Gogol or Dostoevsky. The possible articles are listed below, but there might still be changes as students add & drop. I've selected some classics and some of the best recent criticism and some appropriate dates in our schedule. I have distributed them using the alphabetical class list--feel free to switch topics with class mates (you negotiate!), but let me know so I can update our schedule. The texts are placed on Reserve in the Library (mostly hard copy), as indicated for each article below. The rest of the class should also read all the materials we've selected for presentation and bring copies to class. | ||
