Recenzje

'Enterprising Empires is a convincing, readable, and significant work that should be applauded for both its ambition and its provision of a trans-national history of Russian and British commerce at time of transition from pre-industrial to capitalist order.' Eugene Miakinkov, Eighteenth-Century Studies
