Russian Monarchy – Eighteenth–Century Rulers and Writers in Political Dialogue

TRAMA

Russian monarchs have long been regarded as majestic, all-powerful autocrats who ruled as despots. Challenging this prevailing view, Whittaker shows how the concept of monarchy evolved during the eighteenth century as rulers from Peter the Great to Catherine II responded to the political discussion taking place among the literate public. This dialogue helped to shape the boundaries of the royal power and revolutionized the idea of monarchy.
