Book excerpt: Victor Zhivov's Language and Culture in Eighteenth-Century Russia is one of the most important studies ever published on eighteenth-century Russia.

Zhivov's study is an essential work on the genesis of modern Russian culture; the aim of this translation is to make it available to historians and students of the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the shadow of Pushkin's Golden Age, Russia's eighteenth-century culture was relegated to an obscurity hardly befitting its actually radical legacy. Why did nineteenth-century Russians put the eighteenth century so quickly behind them? How does a meaningful present become a seemingly meaningless past?

Book excerpt: This volume offers a selection of contributions to the tenth international conference of the Study Group on Eighteenth-Century Russia, held in 2018 at Strasbourg University, France, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Study Group’s founding. The papers published in this volume cover Russia’s “long eighteenth century”, from the reign of Peter I (1682-1725) to the reign of Alexander I (1801-1825). The eight main sections reflect the interdisciplinary approach of the Study Group. They focus on: the historiographical evolution of eighteenth-century Russian studies over the last fifty years; the practices of power by the Russian state; the geography of contacts and trade; the work of cultural brokers between Russia and Europe; the writing of subjectivity; gender in historical and literary context; literary practices and traditions; and the relationship between literature and power. The afterword is a retrospective of the Study Group’s history by its President, Professor Anthony G. Cross.
