Description

Neither an extensive 'life and situations' nor a traditional biography, this is an accessible and engaging exploration of monarchial and rulership authority in eighteenth century Russia. Its objective would be to observe how Catherine II of Russia created of her energy and how it had been manifested to her topics.  Simon Dixon asks important questions about Catherin'es rule and life, and provides fresh and exciting quarrels about the Englightenment, the ability of the monarch in early modern Europe, and the much-discussed part of the "excellent person" ever.
