Cracraft, James
Revolutions and the Making of the Modern World From Peter the Great to Karl Marx James Cracraft; William Benton Whisenhunt - New York Peter Lang Publishing 2021 - 350 Seiten
Editor's Note - Foreword - Acknowledgments - Peter the Great - The Church Reform - In the Longer View - Review Essays - Thinking about History - Index.
Professor James Cracraft is an established specialist on early modern Russian history, particularly the era of Peter the Great (1682-1725), tsar and first Russian emperor. This volume gathers some of the many key articles and reviews published by him over the last forty years and more in a wide variety of scholarly venues, some of which are not readily accessible. They constitute in sum important contributions not only to Russian history broadly understood, but also to the study of history itself. The collection will include a preface by the editor and an introduction by the author, where he will sum up his decades of historical work and point to new avenues of needed research, all the while emphasizing that "history" properly understood does not exist somewhere on its own but is the creation, however imperfect, of professional historians (as "chemistry", say, is properly understood as the work, however imperfect, of professional chemists).
