In Creating the Empress, Vera Proskurina examines the interaction
between power and poetry in creating the imperial image of
Catherine the Great, providing a detailed analysis of a wide range
of Russian literary works from this period, particularly the main
Classical myths associated with Catherine (Amazon, Astraea, Pallas
Athena, Felicitas, Fortune, etc.), as well as how these Classical
subjects affirmed imperial ideology and the monarch's power. Each
chapter of the book revolves around the major events of Catherine's
reign (and some major literary works) that give a broad framework
to discuss the evolution of important recurring motifs and images.
