Background
Riasanovsky, Nicholas Valentine was born on December 21, 1923 in Harbin, China. Arrived in the United States, 1938, naturalized, 1943.
(From acknowledgements in front of book: My study of the S...)
From acknowledgements in front of book: My study of the Slavophiles is a result of a long-standing interest in Russian history, in Russian culture and int he intellectual development of modern Europe. Introduction: The perplexing question of Russia's relation to Western civilization has often conditioned and sometimes even dominated the development of Russian political and social thought The significance of this relation was emphasized by those thinkers who regarded it not as a connection between the whole and its part, but as a contrast between two independent and usually hostile entities. The Slavophile ideology provided the most comprehensive and striking treatment of this perennial problem of Russian and the West. Ind doing so, it gave a fuller expression to many earlier views on the subject and also greatly affected most subsequent expositions of it.

( Nicholas I and Official Nationality in Russia, 1825 - 1...)
Nicholas I and Official Nationality in Russia, 1825 - 1855 developed from a much more modest interest in Uvarov's doctrine of "Orthodoxy, autocracy, and nationality." During the author's study of the Slavophiles in particular, he became increasing aware of the paucity of our knowledge of this so-called Official Nationality frequently combined with a deprecating attitude toward it. Unable to find a satisfactory analysis of the subject, the author proceeded to write his own. This book largely organized itself: an exposition and discussion of the ideology naturally occupied the central position, preceded by a brief treatment of its proponents. But Official Nationality reached beyond intellectual circles, lectures and books; indeed, for thirty years it ruled Russia. Therefore, the author found it necessary to write a chapter on the emperor who, in effect, personally dominated and governed the country throughout his reign; to add a section on the imperial family, the ministers, and some other high officials to an account of the intellectuals who supported the state; and to sketch the application of Official Nationalty both in home affairs and in foreign policy. In this manner this title is able to bring the state doctrine and its role in Russian history into proper focus.

In this fascinating study, Riasanovsky traces the development of the Petrine image through four periods of Russian history. Using examples drawn from Russian historical accounts, literature, and art, he demonstrates how this militaristic leader, founder of St. Petersburg, and tsar of all Russia from 1689 to 1725, has become the dominant cultural image of modern Russia.

(Although primarily known as an eminent historian of Russi...)
Although primarily known as an eminent historian of Russia, Nicholas Riasanovsky has been a longtime student of European Romanticism. In this book, Riasanovsky offers a refreshing and appealing new interpretation of Romanticism's goals and influence. He searches for the origins of the dazzling vision that made the great early Romantic poets in England and Germany--Wordsworth, Coleridge, Novalis, and Friedrich Schlegel--look at the world in a new way. He stresses that Romanticism was produced only by Western Christian civilization, with its unique view of humankind's relationship to God. The Romantic's frantic and heroic striving after unreachable goals mirrors Christian beliefs in human inability to adequately address God, speak to God, or praise God. Further, Riasanovsky argues that Romantic thought had important political implications, playing a key role in the rise of nationalism in Europe. Offering a historical examination of an area often limited to literary analysis, this book gracefully makes a larger historical statement about the nature and centrality of European Romanticism.
