The series “Cultural Syllabus” comprises critical readers and anthologies of primary and secondary texts for a broad variety of undergraduate courses in Russian Studies, including literature, film, and cultural history.  Books in this series are typically edited by experienced college and university instructors, who convert their course materials into source books for colleagues and students.
