Download or read book The First Epoch written by Luba Golburt and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the shadow of Pushkin's Golden Age, Russia's eighteenth-century culture was relegated to an obscurity hardly befitting its actually radical legacy. Why did nineteenth-century Russians put the eighteenth century so quickly behind them? How does a meaningful present become a seemingly meaningless past? Interpreting texts by Lomonosov, Derzhavin, Pushkin, Viazemsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and others, Luba Golburt finds surprising answers.

Download or read book Russia, Europe and the World in the Long Eighteenth Century written by Collectif and published by Presses universitaires de Strasbourg. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a selection of contributions to the tenth international conference of the Study Group on Eighteenth-Century Russia, held in 2018 at Strasbourg University, France, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Study Group’s founding. The papers published in this volume cover Russia’s “long eighteenth century”, from the reign of Peter I (1682-1725) to the reign of Alexander I (1801-1825). The eight main sections reflect the interdisciplinary approach of the Study Group. They focus on: the historiographical evolution of eighteenth-century Russian studies over the last fifty years; the practices of power by the Russian state; the geography of contacts and trade; the work of cultural brokers between Russia and Europe; the writing of subjectivity; gender in historical and literary context; literary practices and traditions; and the relationship between literature and power. The afterword is a retrospective of the Study Group’s history by its President, Professor Anthony G. Cross.
Book Synopsis The Russian Empire in the Eighteenth Century: Tradition and Modernization by : Aleksandr Kamenskii
Download or read book The Russian Empire in the Eighteenth Century: Tradition and Modernization written by Aleksandr Kamenskii and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia's 18th-century drive toward modernity and empire under the two "greats" - Peter I and Catherine II - is captured in this work by one of Russia's outstanding young historians. The author develops three themes: Russia's relationship to the West; the transformation of "Holy Russia" into a multinational empire; and the effects of efforts to modernize Russia selectively along Western lines. Writing in a clear, crisp style, Kamenskii enlivens the narrative with observations from contemporary literary figures and political commentators that point up the lasting significance of the events he describes.
Book Synopsis The Visual Dominant in Eighteenth-Century Russia by : Marcus C. Levitt
Download or read book The Visual Dominant in Eighteenth-Century Russia written by Marcus C. Levitt and published by Northern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enlightenment privileged vision as the principle means of understanding the world, but the eighteenth-century Russian preoccupation with sight was not merely a Western import. In his masterful study, Levitt shows the visual to have had deep indigenous roots in Russian Orthodox culture and theology, arguing that the visual played a crucial role in the formation of early modern Russian culture and identity. Levitt traces the early modern Russian quest for visibility from jubilant self-discovery, to serious reflexivity, to anxiety and crisis. The book examines verbal constructs of sight—in poetry, drama, philosophy, theology, essay, memoir—that provide evidence for understanding the special character of vision of the epoch. Levitt's groundbreaking work represents both a new reading of various central and lesser known texts and a broader revisualization of Russian eighteenth-century culture. Works that have considered the intersections of Russian literature and the visual in recent years have dealt almost exclusively with the modern period or with icons. The Visual Dominant in Eighteenth-Century Russia is an important addition to the scholarship and will be of major interest to scholars and students of Russian literature, culture, and religion, and specialists on the Enlightenment.

Book Synopsis The Modernisation of Russia, 1676-1825 by : Simon Dixon
Download or read book The Modernisation of Russia, 1676-1825 written by Simon Dixon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-07-29 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to place Russia's 'long' eighteenth century squarely in its European context. The conceptual framework is set out in an opening critique of modernisation which, while rejecting its linear implications, maintains its focus on the relationship between government, economy and society. Following a chronological introduction, a series of thematic chapters (covering topics such as finance and taxation, society, government and politics, culture, ideology, and economy) emphasise the ways in which Russia's international ambitions as an emerging great power provoked administrative and fiscal reforms with wide-ranging (and often unanticipated) social consequences. This thematic analysis allows Simon Dixon to demonstrate that the more the tsars tried to modernise their state, the more backward their empire became. A chronology and critical bibliography are also provided to allow students to discover more about this colourful period of Russian history.
