Students research the reading and writing processes behind selected novels and short stories by Russian masterpiece authors, and give their own oral and written responses as writers to the material they are reading. Research examines the personal and social contexts in which masterpiece works were written, as well as the ways in which writers read, respond to what they read, and incorporate their reading and responses to reading dynamically to their own fiction writing processes. Drawing upon authors' journals, notebooks, and letters, as well as upon more public writing and interviews, students explore the writing processes of Russian masterpiece authors and the ways in which students' own responses may nourish and heighten the development of their fiction.
