What schoolchildren read in literature lessons in Europe, the USA and Japan. What did Soviet schoolchildren read?

1 11 266

Having been relegated to the second row as unnecessary, with the advent of the “presidential” essay, literature returned to the ranks of the most important subjects in the Russian school. But parents and students are still concerned about the extent to which our education in this area can compete with foreign ones.

Let's see how and what works students of foreign schools study. In each list we included the 10 main authors of the school curriculum.

France

There is no division into two different subjects, “French language” and “French literature”, for schoolchildren. In literature lessons, young French people pay practically no attention to plots, images, or the development of characters in works. The main thing is style! And the style of authors before the 19th century is considered ideal. Schoolchildren often complete tasks to write an excerpt on a given topic in the style of Moliere (Racine, Corneille, etc.). Ancient Greek and Roman authors are seriously studied.

In the compulsory program

  1. Chretien de Troyes. "Lancelot".
  2. Jean Baptiste Moliere. "Stingy".
  3. Pierre Corneille. "Sid."
  4. Pedro Calderon. "Life is a dream."
  5. Victor Hugo. "Les Miserables".
  6. Emile Zola. "Germinal".
  7. Gustave Flaubert. "Madame Bovary."
  8. Honore de Balzac. "Human Comedy".
  9. Antoine de Saint-Exupery. "A little prince".
  10. Albert Camus. "A fall".

USA

As such, there is no single school curriculum in literature in the United States. In English lessons, they read and discuss the works chosen by the teacher. The main selection criteria are: the artistic value of the text, fascinating content, and the ability to learn moral lessons from it. Today it is common to include more books about war, the Holocaust, US history, and democratic values ​​in the list of works studied.

In the compulsory program

  1. Theodore Dreiser. "American Tragedy", "Financier".
  2. William Faulkner. "The Sound and the Fury"
  3. Robert Louis Stevenson. "Treasure Island".
  4. Joseph Conrad. "Heart of Darkness".
  5. George Orwell. "Barnyard".
  6. Terry Pratchett. "Flat world".
  7. Edith Wharton. "The Age of Innocence."
  8. Herman Melville. "Moby Dick".
  9. Daniel Keyes. "Flowers for Algernon."
  10. Edgar Poe. Poems and poems.

Great Britain

The British read at school what is considered to be the classics of English literature. Each class often chooses the form of studying large topics by voting. For example, "19th-Century English Literature" is a topic that students may want to explore through discussion, essay writing, individual study, group project preparation, and so on. Some program works are familiar to Russian graduates from childhood, and the names of many authors are one way or another well-known due to frequent mentions.

In the compulsory program

  1. J. Chaucer. "The Canterbury Tales".
  2. K. Marlowe. "The Tragic Story of Doctor Faustus."
  3. D. Defoe. "Robinson Crusoe".
  4. J. Swift. "Gulliver's Travels", "Letters from a Clothmaker".
  5. S. Richardson. "Clarissa, or the Story of a Young Lady", "Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded".
  6. G. Fielding. "The Story of Tom Jones, Foundling."
  7. Charles Dickens. "The Adventures of Oliver Twist", "Dombey and Son".
  8. William Thackeray. "Vanity Fair".
  9. George Eliot. "Mill on the Floss".
  10. S. Coleridge. "The Old Sailor"

Germany

Different types of schools teach literature differently. In ordinary schools, they mainly teach works by German authors. There are many gymnasiums in the country with a humanitarian focus, where works from ancient authors to the most modern are studied in detail. In some educational institutions, the literature course is divided according to the topics raised in the works. For example, “Law and Justice”, “Motherland and Foreign Land”, “Science and Responsibility” and others. Thus, F. Schiller’s drama “The Robbers” belongs to the topic “Law and Justice”, his “Mary Stuart” is studied in the section “The Conflict of Man and History”, and “Cunning and Love” naturally falls into the section “Love Stories”.

In the compulsory program

  1. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. "Nathan the Wise."
  2. Friedrich Schiller. "The Robbers", "Mary Stuart", "Cunning and Love".
  3. Johann Wolfgang Goethe. "The Sorrows of Young Werther."
  4. Heinrich Heine. "Journey through the Harz."
  5. Thomas Mann. "Buddenbrooks", "Magic Mountain".
  6. Heinrich von Kleist. "Marquise d'O".
  7. Friedrich Durrenmatt. "The Old Lady's Visit", "Physicists".
  8. Amadeus Hoffman. “Little Tsakhes”, “Everyday views of the cat Murra”.
  9. Eduard Mörike. “The Artist Nolten”, “Mozart on the way to Prague”.
  10. Georg Buchner. "The Death of Danton"

Japan

In high school in Japanese schools, literature is studied in more or less detail, depending on the chosen direction; textbooks on literature are also very different - there is no single standard. Just as in Russia, Germany and Great Britain, the main attention is paid to the study of domestic literature. The greatest interest for the Japanese - including Japanese schoolchildren - are those works where one can observe and analyze the process of developing the character of the hero.

  1. Murasaki Shikibu. "The Tale of Genji".
  2. Sei-Shonagon. “Notes at the headboard.”
  3. Higuchi Ichiyo. "Peers".
  4. Yukio Mishima. "Golden Temple".
  5. Kobo Abe. "Woman in the Sands"
  6. Soseki Natsume. "Heart".
  7. Ryunosuke Akutagawa. "Rashomon".
  8. Ogai Mori. "Dancer".
  9. Haruki Murakami. "Sheep Hunting"
  10. Shiki Masaoka. Poetry.

Everyone is reading this

Of course, domestic literature always comes first. But there are works of world literature that are included in the advanced school course for high school students from almost all countries. So, the “world ten”:

  1. Homer. "Iliad", "Odyssey".
  2. William Shakespeare. "Hamlet", "Romeo and Juliet".
  3. Harper Lee. "To Kill a Mockingbird".
  4. William Golding. "Lord of the Flies".
  5. Charles Dickens. "Big hopes".
  6. Mary Shelley. "Frankenstein".
  7. Johann Wolfgang Goethe. "Faust".
  8. Franz Kafka. "Transformation."
  9. Lev Tolstoy. "Anna Karenina".
  10. Fedor Dostoevsky. "Crime and Punishment".

None of the countries examined attaches much importance to the main principle by which literature is studied in the senior classes of Russian schools - the historical and artistic method: classicism, romanticism, realism, etc. Meanwhile, it is precisely this approach that is closest to the scientific view of literature - it can be considered an advantage of our education system.

It requires systemic theoretical knowledge. And if school teachers are forced to sacrifice literature lessons while preparing graduates for the Unified State Exam, then a good tutor can fill in the gaps and form in the student’s mind a coherent picture of the entire history of the literary process. After all, this is precisely the knowledge of the subject that will be required during entrance tests in literature at prestigious universities.
