Description

This selection of documents - for the most part never before translated into English - traces the process of modernization which took place in Russia between 1856 and 1881.

Political, social and economic developments are dealt with in thematic sections and the documents also show the growth of the revolutionary movement and conservative attempts to quell it.

The great flowering of Russian literature and art during the quarter-century is also reflected.

The documents are accompanied by individual commentaries and an extensive guide to further reading, whilst the volume is prefaced by a substantial introductory essay setting the documents in context.
