The text begins with a discussion of the reign of Casimir IV, before moving through various historical phases to the reign of Catherine the Great. A detailed bibliography is also included. This is a highly readable book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in historiography and perspectives on the histories of Poland and Russia.
