Young Turgenev was infl uenced both by his upbringing in the circles of Moscow Freemasons and by the lit- erature of German Sturm und Drang and especially by the early tragedies by Friedrich Schiller. In his self-refl ections, his dramatic love story, and his attempts to translate Alexander Pope’s Eloisa to Abelard into Russian, Turgenev demonstrated his quest to resemble his favorite literary char- acters and the despair caused by his failure to meet these self-imposed standards. Both his quest and his personality as revealed in the diaries can serve as a symbol of the new emotional culture that emerged in Russia and became prevalent there throughout the Romantic age. Fear: Soldiers and Emotion in Early Twentieth-Century Russian Military Psychology Jan Plamper This article provides an analysis of the locus of fear in military psychol- ogy in late imperial Russia. After the Russo-Japanese War and the 1905 Revolution, the debate coalesced around two poles: “realists” (such as the military psychiatrist Grigorii Shumkov) argued that fear was natural, while “romantics” upheld the image of constitutionally fearless soldiers. Jan Plamper begins by identifying the advent of modern warfare (fore- shadowed by the Crimean War) and its engendering of more and different fears as a key cause for a dramatic increase in fear-talk among Russia’s sol- diers.

WOODWORTHb a Tallinna Ülikool, Humanitaarteaduste Instituut, Ajaloo, arheoloogia ja kunstiajaloo keskus, Narva mnt 25, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] b History Program, University of New Haven, 300 Boston Post Road, West Haven, CT 06516 USA; [email protected] This article presents a short overview of Estonian and international research on the nineteenth century in Estonia during the decades since the re­establishment of independence in 1991, with a focus on work published in the twenty­first century. The authors discuss the most important directions of re­ search – socioeco nomic history in rural and urban environments, Estonian nationalism and the devel­ opment of ethnic milieus of Baltic Germans and Russians, the history of Estonia as part of a larger empire and, albeit very briefly, also cultural history. The authors also identify a number of topics still in need of attention by scholars. For historians writing in European languages, the notion of writing about the nine­ teenth century as the period 1800 to 1900 has for several decades been supplanted by the argument that as a temporal framework, the period from the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789 to the outbreak of war in 1914 simply makes much more sense. Even for the present authors, writing about the historiography of a land which the first of these events did not immediately affect, it is a bit artificial to cut the “long nineteenth century” short since there is hardly any study on Estonian history that uses exactly the time frame from 1800 to 1900.1 For the purpose of this article, as requested by the editor, we nevertheless focus on this “arithmetic” period in order to avoid overlaps with the contributions in this special issue on early modern and twentieth century history.

  • Friend Or Femme Fatale?: Olga Novikova in the British Press, 1877-1925
    FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925 Mary Mellon A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Louise McReynolds Donald J. Raleigh Jacqueline M. Olich i ABSTRACT MARY MELLON: Friend or Femme Fatale?: Olga Novikova in the British Press, 1877-1925 (Under the direction of Dr. Louise McReynolds) This thesis focuses on the career of Russian journalist Olga Alekseevna Novikova (1840-1925), a cosmopolitan aristocrat who became famous in England for her relentless advocacy of Pan-Slavism and Russian imperial interests, beginning with the Russo- Turkish War (1877-78). Using newspapers, literary journals, and other published sources, I examine both the nature of Novikova’s contributions to the British press and the way the press reacted to her activism. I argue that Novikova not only played an important role in the production of the discourse on Russia in England, but became an object of that discourse as well. While Novikova pursued her avowed goal of promoting a better understanding between the British and Russian empires, a fascinated British press continually reinterpreted Novikova’s image through varying evaluations of her nationality, gender, sexuality, politics and profession. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS FRIEND OR FEMME FATALE?: OLGA NOVIKOVA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, 1877-1925……………….…………...……………………….1 Introduction……………………………………………………………….1 The Genesis of a “Lady Diplomatist”…………………………………...11 Novikova Goes to War…………………………………………………..14 Novikova After 1880…………………………………………………….43 Conclusion……………………………………………………………….59 Epilogue: The Lady Vanishes..………………………………………….60 BIBLIOGRAPHY……………………………………………………………….63 iii The removal of national misunderstandings is a task which often baffles the wisdom of the greatest statesmen, and defies the effort of the most powerful monarchs.

  • German Historical Institute London Bulletin Vol 38 (2016)
    BOOK REVIEWS FIONA J. GRIFFITHS and JULIE HOTCHIN (eds.), Partners in Spirit: Women, Men, and Religious Life in Germany, 1100–1500, Medieval Wo - men: Texts and Contexts, 24 (Turnhout: Brepols, 2014), x + 430 pp. ISBN 978 2 503 54096 2. €100.00 This collection of essays is dedicated to the question of how men and women lived and worked together in medieval religious houses. This starting point may surprise some readers, given the common as - sumption that religious women in particular lived in strict enclosure and that men were not allowed to enter their convents, except, that is, for clerics who said mass for the women, spiritual fathers who heard their confessions and gave them pastoral guidance, and male relatives who had a special right to visit their sisters and daughters. All of which brings us directly to the heart of the matter. The issue addressed in this volume originates in the prohibition on women tak- ing higher orders and in the close connections between religious women and their secular relatives which arose not least from their financial affairs. Considering that cohabitation was a common and everyday situation in female monasteries and collegiate churches, the subject has hitherto received insufficient attention from researchers. Yet the problems of cohabitation, particularly the threat it posed to the women’s celibacy, were repeatedly addressed in medieval letters, hagiographical and historical texts, charters, sermons, visitation records, and the normative texts of monasticism, as Fiona J. Griffiths (New York) and Julie Hotchin (Canberra) show in their introduction (pp. 1–46). The volume gathers together essays which investigate the every- day routine of male–female relations within male and female monas- teries which were not double houses, using case studies from German-speaking Europe between the twelfth and the sixteenth cen- turies.

She was notorious in both Russia and Great Britain for a variety of reasons. Considering her reputation in 19th century diplomatic circles, it is surprising that Dorothea is not a well-known figure today. Her husband Christopher Andreyevich Lieven (Христофор Андреевич Ливен, 1774 – 1838) was the Russian ambassador to England and represented Russia in London between 1812 and 1834. Dorothea joined him in the move to England, where she established herself as a diplomatic force in the Russian embassy. Beside diplomatic involvement, she was a sensation in England’s high society and an esteemed patroness of Almack’s, London’s exclusive social club. Here she introduced the waltz in England in 1813. However, it is unlikely that the anonymous author from the Times would have described her as “mischievous” and “ supercilious” for introducing a dance to the ballrooms of English high society.

John Evans Baptist Minister and Schoolmaster (Voice of Richard Elfyn) I have gone through the apartments of the royal pavilion, and witnessed the recent improvements, but I dare not trust my pen on so delicate a subject.

This most splendid and beautiful apartment, Music: 0.58 presents a design, the most striking, involving the intricacies of invention from the minutest objects to the harmonised combinations of the whole. The walls of this apartment are divided into compartments, containing illustrations, of the manners and elegant costumes of the higher order of the Chinese people. These pictures possess great variety, and team with domestic episodes, which are familiar to us. This dome is constructed to represent an eastern sky, partially obscured by the broad and branching foliage of a luxuriant plantain tree. From its truncated centre, Chinese symbols depend, and characterise its apparent use, that of connecting it with the grand lustre, rising thirty feet and, assuming the shape of lotus flowers.

  • On the Historical Significance of the Presence, and Absence, of Women at the Congress of Vienna, 1814–18151
    L’Homme. Z. F. G. 25, 2 (2014) On the Historical Significance of the Presence, and Absence, of Women at the Congress of Vienna, 1814–18151 Glenda Sluga The Congress of Vienna, which ran from September 1814 to June 1815 and was to settle the terms of a post-Napoleonic world order, lies at the heart of a historical narra- tive of the modern transformation of European politics, as the threshold of new forms of international political cooperation and coordination undertaken in the interests of peace, and sometimes referred to as the “Concert of Europe”.2 On this view, the Con- gress was the moment when the foreign ministers of Britain, Austria, Prussia and Russia elaborated a system of shared diplomatic procedures and norms of international politi- cal conferencing and invoked ideals of a distinctively European and Christian civilisa- tion, joined in their ambitions for peace. As significantly, even if rarely noticed, the Congress of Vienna coincided with chang- ing norms of gender relations, specifically in practices of international politics and di- plomacy. In the 1960s, the Austrian historian of the Congress of Vienna Hilde Spiel noted “Never before – or after – have a group of statesmen and politicians, assembled solely and exclusively to deal with matters of commonweal interest, labored so exten- sively and decisively under the influence of women – not in Munster, nor in Rastatt, not in Versailles, nor yet in San Francisco”.3 Yet political histories of the Congress have continued to ignore these women, or pushed them to the margins of more historical and popular accountings of “the Congress that danced”, where they appear as whores or mistresses, the double agents of imperial and national conspirators.

  • Communicating the Congress's Values."
    "Communicating the Congress's Values." DRAFT PAPER. Women, Men, and the Making of Modern International Politics Glenda Sluga, University of SYdney 1. The Congress of Vienna, which ran from September 1814 to June 1815 and was to settle the terms of a post-Napoleonic world order, lies at the heart of an historical narrative of the modern transformation of European politics, setting new thresholds of international political cooperation and coordination in the interests of peace, and identified as the 'Concert of Europe'. When we reflect on the Congress 'values' its place in the birth of the modern world seems confirmed, particularly if we take as our guide Paul W. Schroeder's magisterial study The Transformation of European Politics which has rendered the conferencing—and collective experiences of struggle against Napoleon—that preceded and included the Congress of Vienna, over the period 1813-1815, ‘the decisive turning point’ in the transformation of ‘the governing rules, norms, and practices of international politics’, ‘above all in the field of ideas, collective mentalities, and outlooks’, competing even with the French Revolution for political significance. In my talk yesterday, I argued that the protagonists of the peacemaking Congresses were as apt as Woodrow Wilson a century later to frame the cause and challenges of the Congress in the language of 'general principles' and sovereign rights. The modernity of the congress was constituted by the coincidental emphasis placed in its debates, and outcomes, on an international or more usually European politics, and the 'public law' of state legitimacy; on the promise of a structured science of government, and the ambiguously public/private practices of political congressing, often represented as characteristic of the cosmopolitan values and practices of the ancien regime.
