Synopsis

This volume is respectfully and affectionately presented to Robert O. Crummey on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the publication of his famous compilation Rude & Barbarous Kingdom: Russia in the Accounts of Sixteenth-Century English Voyagers (1968). It contains cutting-edge explorations by leading international scholars of the themes that he himself has done so much to elucidate over a long and illlustrious academic career: the royal court and the elite, religion and monasticism, overviews of Muscovy in comparative contexts, and the general themes of culture, war, and women. The contributions in the volume broadly reflect the highest regard his students and colleagues have for the erudition, imagination, and the generosity of spirit of Robert Crummey.
