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. Grounding
its analysis in the works of historians Timofei Granovskii, Vasilii
Klyuchevskii, and Ivan Grevs, Writing History in Late Imperial
Russia 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.
