Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Petersburg stories consist of five independent stories, but they are regarded as a cycle. In this course we will analyze topics which are common for all the stories, in order to understand exactly why these stories form a unified cycle. The following topics will be discussed: Petersburg as a literary protagonist, Petersburg myths, Petersburg duality ( city of Antichristnd and a wonder) and the city's role in each story. Other important issues are also to be reviewed: the relationship between reality and fantasy and the means of used expression, the role of gossip and rumors and their transformation in myths, the theme of the little man and a strange similarity between the High and the Low.
