Reviews

Almost uniquely among the many studies of Russian print culture, the essays in Publishing in Tsarist Russia collectively situate Russian printing exactly where it should be, within a multi-confessional, poly-lingual, and transnational landscape. Its contributions by leading Japanese, Russian, and US scholars offer a wide-range of subjects, within recurring and interconnected modes of analysis drawn from contemporary historiography, sociology, and cultural studies. It is a welcome and valuable contribution. * Gary Marker, Professor of History, Stony Brook University, USA * `Influential works by Eugene Weber and Benedict Anderson have given rise to a widespread view that state policies of education, and standardisation of a national language, have helped forge modern national consciousness. This trailblazing volume presents a challenging view that, in the case of the Russian Empire, the story is much more complex. Focusing on the press and print media they show that no such linear relationship existed. This important story is not only of interest to all scholars of Russia but is a major contribution to the wider history of the vital interaction of language, publishing and national consciousness. * Christopher Read, Professor of Modern European History, University of Warwick, UK *


[A] thoughtful, wide-ranging, and original contribution to scholarship on publishing, readerships, and emergent identities in late imperial Russia. Its nine chapters, well framed by the book's introduction and brief conclusion, display extensive knowledge of their subject-matter and familiarity with scholarship on it. * The Russian Review * Almost uniquely among the many studies of Russian print culture, the essays in Publishing in Tsarist Russia collectively situate Russian printing exactly where it should be, within a multi-confessional, poly-lingual, and transnational landscape. It is a welcome and valuable contribution. * Gary Marker, Professor of History, Stony Brook University, USA * Challenging the widespread view that state policies of education and language helped forge modern national consciousness, this trailblazing volume shows that, in the case of the Russian Empire, no such linear relationship existed. Publishing in Tsarist Russia is thus a major contribution to both Russian history and the wider history of the vital interaction of language, publishing and national consciousness. * Christopher Read, Professor of Modern European History, University of Warwick, UK *
