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.
