Written over a number of years, these pioneering works have been revised and updated and are complemented by others being published for the first time. Thematically, they cover major subjects in Imperial Russian history and in historical writing, such as ideas and their role in historical change; the intelligentsia, the nobility, and peasant society; and historiography. The twelve essays raise cardinal questions about current scholarship on Russian history before the upheavals of 1917 and offer original interpretations that are of interest to the educated layman as well as the professional historian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Lively and provocative to the last, Confino offers in this posthumously published volume the mature reflections of a master historian.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Slavonic \u0026amp; East European Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tForeword  \u003cbr\u003e \tA Note on Transliteration and Dates\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Discipline and I\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: THE FATE OF IDEAS IN HISTORY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Herzen and Isaiah Berlin on Russia’s Elusive Counter-Enlightenment\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Russian and Western European Roots of Soviet Totalitarianism\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Traditions, Old and New: Patterns of Protest and Dissent in Modern Russia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: SOCIAL GROUPS IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e On Intellectuals and Intellectual Traditions in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Russia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e The Nobility in Russia and Western Europe: Contrasts and Similarities\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Comparing Russian Serfdom and American Slavery\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Agrarian Crisis, Urbanization, and the Russian Peasants at the End of the Old Regime, 1880s-1920s\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART III: APPROACHES TO THE HISTORY OF RUSSIA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Re-inventing the Enlightenment: Western Images and Eastern Realities in the Eighteenth Century\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Political Murder in Russian Culture: Comparisons and Counterfactuals\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Current Events and the Representation of the Past: Issues in Russian Historical Writing\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAfterword\u003cbr\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042987016535,"sku":"9781845457617","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845457617.jpg?v=1750956533","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/russia-before-the-radiant-future-essays-in-modern-history-culture-and-society-9781845457617","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
