Russian Monarchy: Representation and Rule is devoted to studies of the political culture of the Russian monarchy as it influenced aspects of historical development such as law, representations of family, and concepts of nation and empire. The articles show how the narratives described in the author’s two-volume study, Scenarios of Power, guided monarchical rule, shaped the thought patterns not only of the tsar and the imperial family but also of the political and social elite, and set the parameters of compromise that so constrained the policies of imperial Russia.

Reviews for Russian Monarchy
“Wortman and the editors are to be commended for bringing together a coherent collection of essays that articulates Wortman’s important ideas on the tsarist monarchy’s public relations strategies and functions in public discourse.
