About the Book

This volume examines the rise of Russia and her triumph against Sweden in the Great Northern War (1700-21). Rather than being a straight narrative history, the events are looked at through the writings of Charles Whitworth, the first British Ambassador to Russia and British minister in The Hague, Berlin, Ratisbon and Cambrai. Drawing on a wide variety of manuscript sources, Dr Hartley has produced an account both of Whitworth and the momentous events taking place in Europe at the beginning of the 18th century.

Table of Contents:
Contents: Introduction; Charles Whitworth: a diplomatic career; The German lands: clerk, envoy and prisoner (1696-1704); Russia: trade, tobacco and machine-breaking (1705-1712); Russia: the first Anglo-Russian diplomatic crisis (1705-1712); Whitworth on Russia in a period of change; Britain, the Empire and Prussia: negotiations south and north (1713-1717); The United Provinces: the Quadruple Alliance (1717-1719); Prussia: war and peace in the north (1719-1722); Cambrai: not with a bang but a whimper (1722-1725); Epilogue: 1725; Appendix; Bibliography; Index.

Review :
'Janet M. Hartley makes abundant use of Whitworth's rich papers to offer a rounded portrait of a well-educated early modern English gentleman-diplomat...' International History Review 'Charles Whitworth [...] has long been neglected by historians. Janet Hartley's excellent biography of him has now filled that void... this book is invaluable for historians interested in Russian history, in general economic or diplomatic history of that time, and for non-specialists who would simply enjoy an erudite and witty biography.' Slavonic and East European Review
