Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of thirteen major essays on eighteenth-century Russia by one of the most distinguished Western historians. They illustrate and explore three major themes: the development of the Russian state and Russian society, in the years when Russia was changing from a minor power on the European periphery to a major actor on the continental stage; the influence of western ideas and western thought on Russian politics and culture; and the impact of the Enlightenment on Russia. This is a substantial contribution not just to the history of Russia, but to early modern Europe generally.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first complete and balanced historical grammar of Russian to appear in many years. Clear and readable, with none of the technicalities of theoretical linguistics, it is destined to become the standard introduction in English to Slavonic philology. Focusing on language as it was actually used, the book is accessible to those students of Russian whose main interest is in literature rather than philology. Vlasto traces the merging of Russian with Old Church Slavonic to the evolution of classical modern Russian--the standard literary language--at the end of the 18th century.

Book excerpt: The French Language in Russia' provides the fullest examination and discussion to date of the adoption of the French language by the elites of imperial Russia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is interdisciplinary, approaching its subject from the angles of various kinds of history and historical sociolinguistics. Beyond its bearing on some of the grand narratives of Russian thought and literature, this book may afford more general insight into the social, political, cultural, and literary implications and effects of bilingualism in a speech community over a long period. It should also enlarge understanding of francophonie as a pan-European phenomenon. On the broadest plane, it has significance in an age of unprecedented global connectivity, for it invites us to look beyond the experience of a single nation and the social groups and individuals within it in order to discover how languages and the cultures and narratives associated with them have been shared across national boundaries.

This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book considers the role of translation in the reformation of Russia along Western European lines in the eighteenth century. Translation is presented as a key social-systemic factor in the dynamics of the relationship between the system and its environment — between Russia and Western Europe. The author draws on contemporary historiography and social theory, primarily Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory, but also concepts of other sociologists and historians, such as Gumilev, Bourdieu, Habermas, Jameson, amongst others. This allows the author to conduct a comprehensive analysis of social involvements of translation. Importantly, this case study aspires to pave the way for research of the social role of translation of universal validity.
