The turbulent period of renewal and innovation that followed
Russia's crushing defeat in the Crimea has been interpreted,
historically, in terms of the emancipation of the serfs and the
evolution of the gentry class. But, contends Frederick Starr, such
an approach underestimates the breadth and intensity of the impulse
for local reforms per se. After tracing the ideological sources of
the reform, Mr. Starr examines in detail the legislative process by
which administrative decentralization and public self-government
were instituted. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
