Moscow: Pashkov dom, 2016. Pb. This catalogue of an exhibition at the Russian State Library publishes Russian editions and Western European editions of books by and about Karamzin, who was the first author in Russian to write fiction according to the conventions of the novel as they were developing in Western Europe. His attempt at a comprehensive and critical history of the Russian state was also a novelty. He had many critics and imitators, which suggest the impact he had on literature and more broadly his role Europeanizing Russian culture. Also reproduced are manuscripts of his writings and correspondence, prints, paintings, and drawings of Karamzin and places associated with his life. 190 p., approx. 100 color and b/w illus., Rus.
