{"product_id":"writing-history-in-late-imperial-frances-nethercott-9781350245334","title":"Writing History in Late Imperial Russia: Scholarship and the Literary Canon","description":"It is commonly held that a strict divide between literature and history emerged in the 19th century, with the latter evolving into a more serious disciple of rigorous science. Yet, in turning to works of historical writing during late Imperial Russia, Frances Nethercott reveals how this was not so; rather, she argues, fiction, lyric poetry, and sometimes even the lives of artists, consistently and significantly shaped historical enquiry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrounding its analysis in the works of historians Timofei Granovskii, Vasilii Klyuchevskii, and Ivan Grevs, \u003ci\u003eWriting History in Late Imperial Russia\u003c\/i\u003e explores how Russian thinkers--being sensitive to the social, cultural, and psychological resonances of creative writing--drew on the literary canon as a valuable resource for understanding the past. The result is a novel and nuanced discussion of the influences of literature on the development of Russian historiography, which shines new light on late Imperial attitudes to historical investigation and considers the legacy of such historical practice on Russia today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frances Nethercott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135024533X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350245334\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 06\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.61d","brand":"Frances Nethercott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127439487231,"sku":"9781350245334","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f870bc7-94c8-4ee5-a412-5ec7d1b1927a.jpg?v=1687453491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-history-in-late-imperial-frances-nethercott-9781350245334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
