About this product
Product Information
Challenging traditional interpretations of the roles of royal women in patriarchal Muscovite society, Between God and Tsar opens a new approach to understanding medieval Russia. Drawing upon a wide range of sources in anthropology, sociology, art history, and literature, it sheds light on the lives of the tsaritsy, about which little has been known, and on the culture surrounding them. This pioneering study demonstrates that the wives of the early tsars played complex roles in government, especially during times of crisis, and shows how religious culture perpetuated the expressions of their legitimacy as female rulers. Muscovite Russia's values were sanctioned by religion, and it is through religious images that the royal women's claims to rulership can be seen most clearly. Thyrêt explores Orthodox iconography--such as that of the Golden Palace of the Tsaritsy, which proclaims Irina Godunova's right to act as an independent ruler--and shows how the Muscovite court used gendered images to reveal the spiritual power of female rulers. Myths and legends adapted from one generation to another also underscore royal wives' claim to authority based on their great spiritual power. Illuminating medieval Russia's art, literature, and culture, Between God and Tsar opens new ways to understand the tsaritsy. Students of Russian history have often wondered how and why, under the Romanovs, female rulers governed so often. Thyrêt's broadly researched study provides an answer. Between God and Tsar offers stimulating insights into the power of Russia's royal women and how it was manifest in Muscovite culture.

Ordered a workbook. No where in description did it say it was written in. Took 10 days to receive. Contacted seller twice and included photos of the inside of the book and they failed to reply. I’d seriously reconsider purchasing from this seller.

I am SUPER happy with this transaction. I got an epic deal on a less common hardcover. They sold it to me for about $9 and all the others like it are going for about $30. There was no photo but really happy! Mack was ahead of his time, and a beautiful soul, taken too soon. Thank you on this great deal! Looking forward to reading about all these alien encounters, with such a great minds, insight. The book was listed as good and it was indeed in really good condition. Thanks a lot !!
