'Russia in the Age of Alexander II, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky' is both
history and story, incorporating in its analysis of Alexander II's
turbulent reign the lives and ideas of the period's great writers,
thinkers and revolutionaries who made this the Golden Age of Russian
literature and thought. In his combination of considerable biographical
material with the presentation of the main ideas of the era's chief
writers and thinkers, Walter G. Moss has written a history that is of
interest not only to scholars and students of the period, but also to
more general readers.
