texts about Moscow

[David J. Galloway]

Dear Seelangers,

 

I'm searching for texts (in the broadest sense) for a senior seminar based
on Moscow as a topos. This could include literature, history, film, cultural
studies, and so on, but the most suitable would engage Moscow as a dominant
theme. (A colleague previously offered the same seminar using Petersburg as
the focus; this would be a companion to that course.) Any suggestions of
materials in Russian or English would be most welcome, especially if you
have taught such a course previously.

 

Most desired would be texts which give differing views of Moscow life over
the centuries. I'm looking for things beyond the obvious (Gilyarovsky,
Bulgakov, Erofeev, Rybakov, etc.) especially shorter pieces which I might
easily overlook.

 

Please reply off-list to galloway at hws.edu.

 

Thanks in advance,

DJG
