Using Literature in History, and History in Literature

UBC Lectures, Seminars, and Symposia

Using Literature in History, and History in Literature Vinkovetsky, Ilya

Description

This talk recounts how, in teaching history courses, I have drawn on works of literature — most notably the novels of Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and Hadji Murat. My conviction is that historical literature can provide a particularly effective gateway to historical study. Similarly, historical context can enhance and enrich the study of literature.
