<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>'Russian Monarchy: Representation and Rule' is devoted to studies of the political culture of Russian monarchy and how it influenced various aspects of Russian historical development such as law, representations of family, and concepts of nation and of empire. The articles in this book show how the narratives described in the author's two volume 'Scenarios of Power' guided monarchical rule and shaped the thought patterns not only of the tsar and the imperial family but of the political, social, and cultural elite through whom he ruled and set the parameters of compromise that so constrained the policies of imperial Russia.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"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. It distills Wortman's deep knowledge of imperial governmental institutions and the great detail of his two-volume study Scenarios of Power into a single accessible volume."--Aaron J.
