"Rude and Barbarous Kingdom is a good edition of valuable sources:
a selection of the most important writings on Muscovy by Englishmen
who came as traders and diplomats following the discovery of the
White Sea route by Richard Chancellor in 1553 and the establishment
of the Russia Company a year later."--Slavic Review
"A volume that not only illustrates the nature and limits of
English interest in Russia during the sixteenth century but which
illuminates many important facets of Muscovite life."--C. Bickford
O'Brien, Russian Review
"This modernized and annotated edition of the graphic accounts of
six English travelers--Richard Chancellor, Anthony Jenkinson,
Thomas Randolph, George Turberville, Giles Fletcher, and Jerome
Horsey--to Muscovite Russia between 1553 and 1600 is a most welcome
compilation."--Virginia Quarterly Review
"With informative introductory pages, a useful glossary of Russian
terms and an index, Rude and Barbarous Kingdom is a very worthwhile
addition to the growing body of material in English on Muscovite
Russia."--Canadian Slavonic Papers
