Expanded Course Description
| Russian literature has not only captured the attention of a great many readers. It has also fueled the imagination of a number of Western film directors, resulting in classic Hollywood films such as Clarence Brown's Anna Karenina and more recent art films such as Martha Fiennes's Onegin. What is it about Russian literature that has made it so appealing to Western film directors? Which aspects of the Russian literary works have been successfully rendered in film? And which aspects have been altered or forsaken as the literary texts were adapted to the big screen? To what extent are Western films based on Russian literature involved not only in the adaptation or translation of material from one medium to another, but also in a kind of cultural adaptation or translation?
This course will attempt to answer these questions by examining three classic Russian texts that have become the subject of Western films: Alexander Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, and Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. The course will begin with a brief introduction that considers some of the problems of film adaptation, turning in the main part of the course to an in-depth analysis of the Russian literary texts and their Western film versions. You will gain an introduction to some of the great works of nineteenth-century Russian literature, as well as to problems of film adaptation and cultural translation. All texts will be made available in English. No prior coursework in Russian language or literature is required.
