Second session for this group: Fathers And Sons (1862)

PLEASE NOTE: This is the second of two discussion sessions via zoom for this novel on this date.

Format: Discussion via zoom

There’s hardly a late mid to late nineteenth-century novelist who didn’t feel that Turgenev was her or his literary primogenitor: George Eliot, Trollope, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, James, Hardy, Zola, Dreiser, even Virginia Woolf and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Even James Joyce! Over the course of four sessions, we’ll explore Turgenev’s turn from romanticism to social realism, the form that came to dominate Western European and American literary traditions in the late nineteenth and early to mid twentieth centuries.
