This study commences with a simple question: how did Russia matter
to England in the age of William Shakespeare? In order to answer
the question, the author studies stories of Lapland survival,
diplomatic envoys, merchant transactions, and plays for the public
theaters of London. At the heart of every chapter, Shakespeare and
his contemporaries are seen questioning the status of writing in
English, what it can and cannot accomplish under the influence of
humanism, capitalism, and early modern science. The phrase 'Writing
Russia' stands for the way these English writers attempted to
advance themselves by conjuring up versions of Russian life. Each
man wrote out of a joint-stock arrangement, and each man's relative
success and failure tells us much about the way Russia mattered to
England.
