The Golden Age: Readings in Russian Literature of the Nineteenth Century
Sandra F. Rosengrant, Elena D. LifschitzRosengrant and Lifschitz apply the techniques of language instruction to studying literature with over 300 questions pertaining to the readings, and a glossary of important words and how to use them properly. After completing this course your students will say with confidence, "Yes, I can read Russian literature".
Readings include an English introduction to the author to provide a full background without spending valuable time on lecture or translation; unobtrusive marginal glosses that minimize dictionary work without distracting from the story; preparatory exercises that prepare students for difficult constructions in the following text; and proficiency-oriented activities that encourage students to engage the text in a creative manner, like staging a short play.
