At Home With the Gentry A Victorian English Ladys Acount of Russian Country Life

This newly-discovered account of an Englishwoman's stay in the province of Tambov in the early 1850s provides a unique insight into the life of the Russian country gentry on the eve of the Crimean War. Unlike the usual nineteenth-century travel-writing on Russia which focused on court society, Amelia Lyons (the attribution remains tentative) wrote a vivid personal record illuminating provincial life and estate culture. Her account, which includes a wide range of factual information, is augmented by the editor's substantial introduction and annotations.Lyons, Amelia is the author of 'At Home With the Gentry A Victorian English Ladys Acount of Russian Country Life' with ISBN 9781900405058 and ISBN 1900405059.
