Reviews
'Joins the best traditions of archival detective work with the latest in cultural studies to show who generated this seventeenth-century survey of the "Other" and how this work anticipated modernity - in its Orientalist "gaze" as well as in its capitalist inspirations. This combination makes The Fiction and Reality of Jan Struys a significant achievement not only to studies of early modern Russia, but also to the history of modernity and Europe's encounter with the non-Christian world.' - Daniel H. Kaiser, Grinnell College Grinnell, USA
'We should thank Kees for telling us the tale in this fascinating account.' Marshall Poe, New Books In History
