First Published in 2004. Modernizing Muscovy is a comprehensive account of seventeenth-century
/Russian history. It rejects the traditional interpretation of this era as the twilight
/of the Russian Middle Ages. By revealing important instances of dynamic
/change in the late Muscovite state, economy, and society, the book demonstrates
/the crucial importance of pre-Petrine reform in Russia’s transition to one of the
/great powers of the world. The book’s broad scope makes it a veritable
/encyclopaedia of late Muscovite history. It both synthesizes previous scholarship
/and breaks new ground in many important areas.
