Victor Zhivov’s Language and Culture in Eighteenth-Century Russia is one of the most important studies ever published on eighteenth century Russia. Historians and students of Russian culture agree that the creation of a Russian literary language was key to the formation of a modern secular culture, and Language and Culture traces the growth of a vernacular language from the “hybrid Slavonic” of the late seventeenth century through the debates between “archaists and innovators” of the early nineteenth century.
