The majority of writers included here were working in Russia and travelled in the course of their duties, visiting parts little known to Western Europeans. Their observations include ethnographic, scientific, antiquarian and contemporary historical analysis. They reflect eighteenth-century Enlightenment curiosity and the writers personal voices but were also coloured by experiences at the hands of the state and by Russias spectacular growth, which prompted feelings ranging from admiration to alarm. Commentaries contextualise the texts, and include references to official contemporary observers working for the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences (Academicians) and other foreign travellers, as well as to modern scholarship.This anthology, which spans nearly one hundred years, introduces the reader to the various areas regionally, thematically and chronologically, and while giving an overview of the history of the times,
