RUSS-307-01 “Crime and Punishment”
MF: 1:30PM-2:45PM

Crime and Punishment is one of the classics of world literature. We will give a close reading of Raskolnikov’s crime (the murder of a despicable pawnbroker) and his punishment: guilt, terror of getting caught, difficulties with his mother and sister, a lost friendship, and Petersburg—a beautiful and at the same time punishing city.

You get one credit for (very carefully) reading one novel!
