REVIEWS
“A volume that not only illustrates the nature and limits of English interest in Russia during the sixteenth century but which illuminates many important facets of Muscovite life.”—C. Bickford O’Brien, Russian Review
“With informative introductory pages, a useful glossary of Russian terms and an index, Rude and Barbarous Kingdom is a very worthwhile addition to the growing body of material in English on Muscovite Russia.”—Canadian Slavonic Papers
“Rude and Barbarous Kingdom is a good edition of valuable sources: a selection of the most important writings on Muscovy by Englishmen who came as traders and diplomats following the discovery of the White Sea route by Richard Chancellor in 1553 and the establishment of the Russia Company a year later.”—Slavic Review
