Book Synopsis
This book explores the possibilities for rich and varied social, cultural, and political development under the rule of an autocratic state. The author situates Muscovite history within a comparative framework, demonstrating that seventeenth-century Russia was neither backward nor peculiar, but developed its own variant of the concurrent state-building processes of Western European monarchies.
