THE IMAGE OF RUSSIAN EMPERORS ON THE PAGES OF SCOTLAND QUARTERLY BOOK REVIEW THE EDINBURGH REVIEW IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE XIX CENTURY
Abstract
N the first quarter of the XIX century, the international situation in Europe contributed to the increased interest to the Russian Empire from the audience of European newspapers and magazines. Books on travel, newspaper publications, caricatures and other materials were devoted to Russia. Scottish literary-critical magazine The Edinburgh Review was one of the most influential British editions, whose publications were also devoted to Russia and its sovereigns. Individual characteristics of the particular emperor allowed Edinburgh critics to evaluate him as an enlightened and progressive ruler, while the entire political model could be interpreted in terms of despotism. The article analyzes the publications of The Edinburgh Review, featuring Russian emperors, as well as characteristic features of personified and depersonalized images of sovereigns, in the structure of which along with personal judgments of reviewers archetypal and stereotyped elements are discovered.
