Russia in the Accounts of Sixteenth-Century English
Voyagers
Edited by
“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
Lloyd E. Berry and Robert O. Crummey offer edited accounts of six
English voyagers and their experiences in Muscovy Russia between
1553 and 1600. With modernized spelling and presentation, these
accounts are accompanied by a glossary of Russian terms, introduc-
tions of their authors, and annotations that help put the travelers’
narratives into perspective.
“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 establish-
ment of the Russia Company a year later.”—
