RUSS 1066 - FORBIDDEN LOVE ON PAGE AND SCREEN

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course examines the mythology of extramarital transgression. Our primary focus will fall on the screen adaptations of four nineteenth-century novels of adultery: The Scarlet Letter (1850), Madame Bovary (1857), Anna Karenina (1875-1877), and Effi Briest (1895). We will read and analyze graphic novels based on these literary sources. Integrated into the course will be the verbal and visual texts which will allow us to realize that the novels of adultery are on a par with their celluloid and graphic-novel (comics-format) versions constitute the multi-faceted construct resting on the adultery myth.
