Excerpt from Romanism in Russia, Vol. 1: An Historical Study The year 1866, If the people of England think that the Russian Church is like the Roman, I am not surprised that they should entertain a very strong feeling against it. Yet so little did that great Prelate think that the revival of Intercom munion between the two Churches was impossible, that he expressed to me, in a very solemn manner, his deliberate opinion, that the Bishops and learned men of the two Churches might be able to.

The first major study in English of Vasily Zhukovsky (1783–1852)—poet, translator of German romantic verse, and mentor of Pushkin—this book brings overdue attention to an important figure in Russian literary and cultural history. Vinitsky’s “psychological biography” argues that Zhukovsky very consciously set out to create for himself an emotional life reflecting his unique brand of romanticism, different from what we associate with Pushkin or poets such as Byron or Wordsworth. For Zhukovsky, ideal love was harmonious, built on a mystical foundation of spiritual kinship. Vinitsky shows how Zhukovksy played a pivotal role in the evolution of ideas central to Russia’s literary and cultural identity from the end of the eighteenth century into the decades following the Napoleonic Wars.
