Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is an introduction to the short story in Russian literature. The craft of the short story will be explored through close reading & class discussions. When analysing a short story, we will focus on narrative technique to understand and learn the ways in which different writers develop characters, plot & theme. While considering elements such as the context, setting, literary devices, etc., students will attain the comprehension of the literary techniques involved in writing fiction. In addition to achieving all of the above, the course may encourage students to write their own stories.
