Recenzii
'… a significant building block in the growing edifice of writings on Anglo-Russian relations. It supersedes everything else written on the subject, and will appeal to historians both of Russian culture and identity, and of British media culture and international relations in the eighteenth century.' Roger Bartlett, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London
'… a most impressive volume. It covers a formidable chronological range. It is also great fun: Cross has a masterly eye for quotes, and the book makes a wonderful read.' Jeremy Black, University of Exeter
'… a remarkable study demonstrating the scholarly approach of Professor Cross to its full extent. He has a remarkable talent for seeking out all kinds of individuals and their works in his chosen field, as well as throwing new light on the publications of some famous writers - in this case Daniel Defoe, William Wordsworth and George Bernard Shaw, among others.' Paul Dukes, University of Aberdeen
'This is an immensely enjoyable book … For general readers there is a wealth of fascinating stories, for scholars - copious references to rare publications.' Lindsey Hughes, Rossica
'The book is a significant building block inn the growing edifice of writing on Anglo-Russian relations, and supersedes everything else written on the subject. It should appeal not only to historians of Russia, but also to students of British culture and international relations in the eighteenth century.' The English Historical Review
' … a meticulous and comprehensive account …'. The Times Literary Supplement
'This is an enjoyable book not just for the Peter addict like this reviewer, but also for those interested in British views of Russia generally.' SEER
