Abstract

In this article, I shall examine the European part of the Russian Empire, Russian culture and Russians in eighteenth century handbooks of geography when “the Newtonian turn” took place in that discipline. Thanks to travel literature and history writing, we are used to thinking of the Russians as representing “otherness” in Europe. Still, in handbooks of geography, Russia was the gate between Asia and Europe. This article will explicate the stereotype(s) of the British characterisations of the Russian national character and the European part of the Russian Empire (excluding ethnic minorities in Russia), in order to reconstruct the idea of Russia in the British (and Irish) geography books.
英国启蒙运动时期的俄罗斯与欧洲中心地理
在这篇文章中,我将考察俄罗斯帝国的欧洲部分、俄罗斯文化和18世纪地理学手册中的俄罗斯人,当时该学科发生了“牛顿转向”。多亏了旅行文学和历史写作,我们习惯于认为俄罗斯人代表着欧洲的“另类”。尽管如此,在地理手册中,俄罗斯是亚洲和欧洲之间的门户。本文将阐述英国人对俄罗斯民族性格和俄罗斯帝国欧洲部分(不包括俄罗斯的少数民族)的刻板印象,以重建英国(和爱尔兰)地理书籍中的俄罗斯思想。
