Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 8x6x0; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. xiii, 287 p., 23 cm. "The House in the Garden is an important and engaging book about one of the most famous families in Russian history, the Bakunins, and of their estate, Priamukhino. The estate was both stage and testing ground for various notions of how private life might become the generative source of public virtues. One of Randolph's achievements is to suggest that Priamukino's inhabitants were not so much alienated from the larger worlds of the Russian capitals as they were inspired by rhetorics of service and duty which they undertook to live out, in ways that ultimately took them beyond the intentions of the state, and into conflict with each other and with themselves. This book is a wonderful contribution to the history of women in Russia--attending to the roles of several generations of Bakunin women in forging the particular ethos of their estate, and using women's correspondence to argue for their active participation in dramas of duty, sacrifice, and the passionate longings of the heart. We are reminded that intellectual history 'happens' not only between the pages of books, but in the dramatic interstices of drawing rooms, betrothals, and intimate conversation."-Jane Costlow, Bates College.
