Gulag Literature
The Gulag constituted one of the most notorious examples of the twentieth-century’s totalitarian evil. By examining Gulag literature in its many different forms, including propaganda, short stories, novellas, memoirs, poetry, and drama, we will learn the history of the Soviet Gulag system; we will also address questions of authenticity, authority, and morality in the literary representation of trauma and past events.
