Demons for undergraduates

[Katz, Michael R.]

Dear Sasha Spektor:

As the translator of Dostoevsky's Besy for Oxford World Classics, I have several ideas and would be glad to reply off-list, but I need your email address.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Demons for undergraduates

Dear Seelangophiles,

I'm planning to teach Demons next semester to as of now still unsuspecting undergraduates.  Their level of knowledge of Russian history and literature is close to zero.  I'm re-reading the novel and feel terror at the thought of having to teach it.  Have any of you taught it with success to entry level undergraduates?  If you have suggestions (helpful strategies, contextual and textual secondary readings -- that I, not students, can benefit from) please send them my way.   Please reply off the list and I'll compose a list to post it online.

Thank you,
Sasha Spektor.
