epithet "Russian Mohawks," thus mobilizing the Enlightenment's full arsenal of vituperative metaphors of race, geography, and incivility in one simple construction. A curious and possibly important undercurrent in British popular imagery, both positive and negative, was the ongoing interest in Peter's troubled relationship with his son Alexis, a relationship that ultimately led to Alexis' execution for treason. Somehow this sad episode held special meaning for British publicists, as if it encapsulated some essential truth about Peter and Russia. But what? What does this ongoing fascination with the execution of the regent tell us about British political sensibilities or their assumptions about civilized kingship? Herc, as elsewhere, the reader must draw hisiher own inferences. Cross eschews simple political conclusions from his material. Neither does he impose any specific interpretive model on it. He describes the book tellingly as "a wide-ranging survey that embraces all forms of written evidence as well as visual images." Here, as in much of his previous scholarship on Russia and Britain, he delights in offering rich descriptions of little-known material, and then allow the readers to make of it what they will. This approach to narration is both pleasing and slightly frustrating. Pleasing because it places the primary material at center stage and it avoids forcing cultural ambiguities and cross currents into a single rigid model. Frustrating because it deprives the reader of the author's own readings of his materials, his sense of their significance in grasping the geo-politics of culture. Living as we do in a time when the cultural symbols and material interests of states and peoples are intertwined with powerful and often violent consequences, it would be instructive to apply these heightened sensibilities to past time, especially if it were done by someone with the expertise and erudition of Anthony Cross. From that single perspective this book, otherwise so engaging and consistently attentive to detail, is something of a missed opportunity.
