{"product_id":"publishing-in-tsarist-russia-yukiko-tatsumi-9781350246768","title":"Publishing in Tsarist Russia: A History of Print Media from Enlightenment to Revolution","description":"According to Benedict Anderson, the rapid expansion of print media during the late-1700s popularised national history and standardised national languages, thus helping create nation-states and national identities at the expense of the old empires. Publishing in Tsarist Russia challenges this theory and, by examining the history of Russian publishing through a transnational lens, reveals how the popular press played an important and complex Imperial role, while providing a \"soft infrastructure\" which the subjects could access to change Imperial order. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs this volume convincingly argues, this is because the Russian language at this time was a lingua franca; it crossed borders and boundaries, reaching speakers of varying nationalities. Russian publications, then, were able to effectively operate within the structure of Imperialism but as a public space, they went beyond the control of the Tsar and ethnic Russians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exciting international team of scholars provide a much-needed, fresh take on the history of Russian publishing and contribute significantly to our understanding of print media, language and empire from the 18th to 20th centuries. \u003ci\u003ePublishing in Tsarist Russia\u003c\/i\u003e is therefore a vital resource for scholars of Russian history, comparative nationalism, and publishing studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yukiko Tatsumi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135024676X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350246768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Yukiko Tatsumi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944308146431,"sku":"9781350246768","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_938aa8bd-8aaa-42ba-a132-65fbc206e557.jpg?v=1681502935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/publishing-in-tsarist-russia-yukiko-tatsumi-9781350246768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
