Her new monograph in progress focuses on Russia’s reception of Homer. Additional publications include articles on Russian modernism as well as two edited volumes on nineteenth and twentieth-century Russian literature. An award-winning teacher, Dr. Kalb enjoys introducing students to the incredible world of Russian culture and the larger European literary tradition of which it forms a part.
