    Summary note
    "The reforms initiated by Peter the Great transformed Russia not only into a European power but into a European culture - a shift, argues James Cracraft, that was nothing less than revolutionary. The author of seminal works on visual culture in the Petrine era, Cracraft now turns his attention to the changes that occurred in Russian verbal culture."--BOOK JACKET.
