" Russian-American Dialogue on Cultural Relations, 1776-1914, "
the third volume in the Russian-American Dialogues series, provides
English translations of the best Russian scholarship on cultural
relations. Each essay originally appeared as an article in the
former Soviet Union. Five issues are discussed: the contributions
that each country made to the cultural life of the other; the
correspondence and interactions between scientists, writers, and
others from the two nations; the development of public perceptions
and how these changed over time; the "American focus" in Russian
periodicals during the nineteenth century; and the significant
roles of Russians and the Russian presence in American history. The
Russian articles on each of these subjects are followed by comments
from American historians.
The articles by the Russian scholars make extensive use of and
liberally cite material from Russian archives and publications. As
a result, they provide American readers with new scientific
exchanges, personalities, and points of view. The result is a
plethora of new material for Western historians of Russia as well
as of the United States. The book provides an opportunity for
scholars to examine more thoroughly the relevant issues of
Russian-American cultural relations.
An important scholarly contribution, "Russian-American Dialogue
on Cultural Relations, 1776-1914" brings a new dimension to the
relationship between the United States and Russia before 1914. It
will be of interest not only to historians of this period but to
all historians and students of international cultural
relations.
