So highly coloured was Catherine's private life that it has often distracted attention from her remarkable professional statecraft. Dr de Madariaga, the doyenne of Catherine the Great scholars in the West, redresses the balance in this authoritative and substantial account of Catherine's personality, her politics and the nature of the Russia she ruled.

Mrs. Frances D. Warr

An excellent, if somewhat lengthy book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2014

Verified Purchase

An excellent, if somewhat lengthy book, but perseverence is well worth it. Beautifully written with a great attention to detail. This insight into the life and times of Catherine the Great cannot be bettered.

Catherinian Russia

Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2016

A thorough account of the Russia of Catherine's time, by a scholar who has devoted many years to studying all the details and all of the available archives. Now that I know more about Catherine the Great I have immense respect for her -- she came from nowheresville in Germany as a contract bride to the heir of the Russian throne, and determined to strike roots in Russia and do whatever it would take to succeed. She converted to Orthodox Christianity (a big step for those days), coped with her obtuse and alcoholic husband, and struggled her way to the top. She read Enlightenment philosophy to relieve the tedium of Russian court life. She changed Russian government and education. She engineered foreign and military successes. An amazing life.

I have read six or seven histories of Catherine -- they were all too focused on the toy-boys that Catherine enjoyed for a while but was too smart to marry (Orlov, Potemkin). Isabel de Madariaga's books, both this one and her short history of Catherine, are the only accounts that pay due respect to Catherine's work in modernizing Russia. This is interesting and thoughtful history.
