Evdokimova considers Pushkin within the context of Romantic historiography and addresses the tension between Pushkin the historian and Pushkin the fiction writer . She also discusses Pushkin’s ideas on the complex relations between chance and necessity in historical processes, on the particular significance of great individuals in Russian history, and on historical truth.
?Evdokimova?s analysis of the tension between Pushkin the historian and Pushkin the fiction writer is truly brilliant.??Paul Debreczeny, University of North Carolina
"This book is a pure pleasure to read. . . . Perhaps we . . . can now again appreciate the philosophical coherence and artistic variety of Pushkin?s histories for Russia. They are beautifully and thoughtfully presented in this book."?Monika Greenleaf, Slavic Review
"This is a scholarly work, but it is never pedantic. Recommended for academic collections and the informed lay reader."?Library Journal
?Evdokimova fills a gap in scholarship with this full-scale treatment of Pushkin as historian. . . . Stimulating and insightful. . . . An excellent study for historians as well as literary critics, upper-division undergraduate and above."?Choice
