'Teaching Nineteenth-Century Russian Literature: Essays in Honor of
Robert L. Belknap' grew out of a conference in honor of Robert Belknap,
an outstanding teacher and scholar. The collected essays present
concrete strategies for teaching the works of some of Russia's
best-known writers: Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Turgenev,
Saltykov-Shchedrin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov. They address the
teaching of these iconic works of Russian literature in different
contexts and to different audiences, from undergraduate students reading
Russian classics in the context of general education courses to graduate
students exploring the larger context of Russian print culture. Most of
the essays address teaching in English translation, a few in the
original, but all offer useful strategies that can be adopted for
teaching to any audience.
