This book deals with the Rus annals (letopisi) and with a variety
of related texts concerning the historical past. A new typology of
those texts is introduced, together with a comprehensive discussion
of how the writing of history came into being in Rus between c.1000
and c.1050. The author focuses on the work of the annalists of
Novgorod from c. 1045 to c. 1400, and discusses the functions of
annalistic writing in the Rus society. Both the character and the
role of the writing of history in Rus is highlighted by means of
comparison with other political and cultural areas of medieval
Europe, particularly with Anglo-Saxon England.
