Catherine the Great de Simon Dixon

Catherine the Great: Profiles In Power

Autor Simon Dixon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 noi 2001
Neither a comprehensive 'life and times' nor a conventional biography, this is an engaging and accessible exploration of rulership and monarchial authority in eighteenth century Russia. Its purpose is to see how Catherine II of Russia conceived of her power and how it was represented to her subjects.  Simon Dixon asks essential questions about Catherin'es life and reign, and offers new and stimulating arguments about the Englightenment, the power of the monarch in early modern Europe, and the much-debated role of the "great individual" in history.

Descriere

More than a conventional biography of Catherine the Great, this is a full history of her rule and use of power. Viewing Russian culture and politics through the prism of Catherine’s life and reign, Simon Dixon shows how Catherine conceived of and wielded her power, and how she represented it to her subjects. To what extent was her rule consensual and how far did it depend on force? As Simon Dixon answers these questions he sheds new light on the Enlightenment, the power of the monarch and the role of the great individual in history.
 

Recenzii

“Like Catherine herself, Simon Dixon’s new biography is attractive, engaging, and very intelligent. It wears its scholarship lightly, too, but established fans of the Russian empress will find plenty of new material and those who are meeting her for the first time will be dazzled.” — Catherine Merridale, author of Ivan's War and Night of Stone: Death and Memory in Russia
“There is lots new in this superb biography . . . [Dixon] manages to be scholarly, refreshing, commonsensical and compelling, vividly portraying the charismatic Empress and her times.” — Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Sashenka and Young Stalin
