Book Description
Excerpt from The Midnight Sun, the Tsar and the Nihilist: Adventures and Observations in Norway, Sweden and Russia This volume is an attempt to describe the portions of a journey of nearly ten thousand miles in Norway, Sweden and Russia, most likely to interest others. I hope to impart to such as have never seen those countries as clear a view as can be obtained from reading, and to aid those who contemplate a similar journey to prepare for it. Besides, I wish to show those who find the beaten track of travel monotonous, that the north of Europe may give them new sensations and valuable information. They who have been over the same ground may find pleasure in comparing their recollection with the impressions of another. The style of an animated narrative has been sought. Maps, Gazetteers, Geographies, and Guide Books, have been freely consulted, and, when possible, tested on the spot. If found correct they have been quoted for measurements, inscriptions, dates, etc.; otherwise, their errors, if important, have been pointed out. My chief reason for travelling in Russia was to study the "burning question" Nihilism, and kindred subjects. These I have endeavored to treat thoroughly without repetition or dullness. If the reader, on finishing the book, shall neither feel weary nor that he has wasted his time, the author will be satisfied.

In the Land of the Romanovs
Author: Anthony Cross
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783740574
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Over the course of more than three centuries of Romanov rule in Russia, foreign visitors and residents produced a vast corpus of literature conveying their experiences and impressions of the country. The product of years of painstaking research by one of the world’s foremost authorities on Anglo-Russian relations, In the Lands of the Romanovs is the realization of a major bibliographical project that records the details of over 1200 English-language accounts of the Russian Empire. Ranging chronologically from the accession of Mikhail Fedorovich in 1613 to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, this is the most comprehensive bibliography of first-hand accounts of Russia ever to be published. Far more than an inventory of accounts by travellers and tourists, Anthony Cross’s ambitious and wide-ranging work includes personal records of residence in or visits to Russia by writers ranging from diplomats to merchants, physicians to clergymen, gardeners to governesses, as well as by participants in the French invasion of 1812 and in the Crimean War of 1854-56. Providing full bibliographical details and concise but informative annotation for each entry, this substantial bibliography will be an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in contacts between Russia and the West during the centuries of Romanov rule.
