Reviews

Ruth Coates has written a book that without exaggeration must be called a jewel ... This is a short work which will repay repeated reading. It will prove to be a landmark in our understanding of the manifold ways in which deification was interpreted in Russia's silver age. * Andrew Louth, Journal of Ecclesiastical History * It is difficult to find fault with Coates's impressive account of how and why deification took the various forms it did in late imperial Russia. * Patrick Lally Michelson, Indiana University, Slavonic and East European Review *
