The collection introduces a variety of methodologies to the field, including demography, family and gender studies, legal history, microhistory, and semiotics, exploring neglected topics such as the reading public, the imperial family, freemasonry, educational and scholarly societies, and religion. Essays address the symbolic politics of autocracy, the lived experience of the empire, and the debates sustained in public discussions of the polity. Broad chronological, methodological, and topical coverage combined with analysis of the possibilities for a more expansive understanding of imperial Russia make this volume an ideal resource for students and scholars working in this field."
