Reviews

"Thought-provoking and well written, ... Wolff's book provides a valuable treatment of the ways in which 'Enlightened' thinkers conceive of the lands east of the Elbe... A very welcome contribution to both the history of the Enlightenment and the Western understanding of Eastern Europe." - The Russian Review "The distinction between East and West Europe is a seemingly immemorial cliche that desperately needs dismantling, and Wolff does it with erudition and a lively dramatic sense." - Voice Literary Supplement
