From Nestor to Chopin: Slavic Civilizations

Catalog description

s: This course traces the history of Slavic Civilization(s) from antiquity until 1914. Special attention will be paid to the dynamics of the interactions of different parts of the Slavic world with each other and with non-Slavic neighbors. Throughout the course we will consult a variety of primary and secondary sources that will provide vastly different perspectives on the history and culture of Slavic peoples. As a result, students will gain new insights into the process of creating politically charged historical, ethnic, and national narratives.
