This biography examines the long life of the traveller and author
Stephen Graham. Graham walked across large parts of the Tsarist
Empire in the years before 1917, describing his adventures in a
series of books and articles that helped to shape attitudes towards
Russia in Britain and the United States. In later years he
travelled widely across Europe and North America, meeting some of
the best known writers of the twentieth century, including
H.G.Wells and Ernest Hemingway. Graham also wrote numerous novels
and biographies that won him a wide readership on both sides of the
Atlantic. This book traces Graham's career as a world traveller,
and provides a rich portrait of English, Russian and American
literary life in the first half of the twentieth century. It also
examines how many aspects of his life and writing coincide with
contemporary concerns, including the development of New Age
spirituality and the rise of environmental awareness. Beyond Holy
Russia is based on extensive research in archives of private papers
in Britain and the USA and on the many works of Graham himself. The
author describes with admirable tact and clarity Graham's heterodox
and convoluted spiritual quest. The result is a fascinating
portrait of a man who was for many years a significant literary
figure on both sides of the Atlantic.
