If you can read the texts in Russian, you are welcome and encouraged to do so, but you may still wish to acquire the assigned texts, since many of them contain critical material and notes that will be useful. Even if you have read some of the works already in another version, it is wise to acquire the assigned texts so that you can follow along in class.
Abridgements are unacceptable.
Some of these books may be offered in other classes. Make sure you use the editions listed for this class. You are investing a substantial amount of money and time to attend Hunter College. Do not squander them by skimping on books or by failing to bring them to class.
