Publisher Synopsis
"There is no work of scholarship that so thoroughly and confidently measures Mrs. Stowe's footprint on Russian political and intellectual life."--Dale Peterson, author of Up from Bondage: The Literatures of Russian and African American Soul "Stowe's 1852 novel as seen through many facets of a crystal--Russian, American and Western European history, society and culture from the mid-nineteenth century through the Cold War era up to the present. . . .
