This new Seminar Study provides students with a rewarding
introduction to nineteenth-century Russia. This period of Russian
history is, of course, characterised by the flowering of an
enormously rich intellectual and cultural life, the origins of
which lie in the intelligentsiaA?s opposition to autocratic rule.
Here, Professor Offord introduces the reader to the period while
focusing particularly on the rise of radicalism. The book opens
with two scene-setting chapters: one looking at the political and
social structure peculiar to Russia, and the second looking at the
cultural and intellectual background. Then, within a chronological
framework, the author examines all the great 'events' in the
history of Russian radicalism - from the Decembrist Revolt in 1825,
to the 'going to the people' in 1874, and the assassination of
Alexander II in 1881. However, throughout the text sustained
attention is given to the intellectual dimension of
nineteenth-century Russian history. Professor Offord examines all
the major schools of thought and looks in detail at all the great
thinkers of the day, including Chaadaev, Belinsky, Herzen,
Chernyshevsky, Bakunin and Tolstoy. This new book will provide
essential reading for anyone studying nineteenth-century Russia.
Lucid, accessible and immensely readable, it is a formidable
achievement.
