John Lutz via Zoom

Confiscated almost immediately when it was first published in 1790, Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow was banned almost to the end of the Imperial period in Russia. Part travelogue and part political critique, the book was circulated clandestinely throughout the period it was censored and exerted a profound influence on many major literary figures in the nineteenth century. We will use the Columbia University Press edition: ISBN # 978-0-231-18591-2

[A Zoom link will be sent to you prior to each session, typically on the day before your class and the morning of your class.  If you have any questions or need help getting online, feel free to call us at 516-480-5733 and we’ll get right back to you with assistance.]
