Contributors to Personality and Place in Russian Culture were encouraged to develop any of the approaches featured in Hughes’s work: pointillist and panoramic, playful and morbid, quotidian and bizarre. The result is a rich and original collection, ranging from the sixteenth century to the present day, in which a group of leading international scholars explore the role of the individual in Russian culture, the myriad variety of individual lives, and the changing meanings invested in particular places. This volume is available both as a stand-alone paperback book and an issue of the journal. The editor, Simon Dixon, is Sir Bernard Pares Professor of Russian History at UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies. Reviews:
