Russia in the Age of Alexander II, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky is both history and story, incorporating in its analysis of Alexander ll's turbulent reign the lives and ideas of the period's great writers, thinkers and revolutionaries who made this the Golden Age of Russian literature and thought. Uniquely, the book examines Alexander ll's policies and the reactions they provoked from the Russian intelligentsia. In doing so, it interweaves in-depth consideration of the personal and public lives of individuals such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Turgenev; it also incorporates reflections as to why the outcome of this tumultuous reign was so tragic. In his combination of considerable biographical material with the presentation of the main ideas of the era's chief writers and thinkers, Walter Moss has written a history that is of interest not only to scholars and students of the period, but also to more general readers. Walter G. Moss is Professor at the Department of History and Philosophy at East Michigan University. He earned his PhD at Georgetown University and wrote a dissertation on Vladimir Soloviev's polemics with Russian nationalists. He is the author of numerous articles as well as books on Russian history, literature and philosophy, including his successful textbooks History of Russia to 1917 and History of Russia from 1855
