Abstract

The article reports that Richard Bedford notices that "Moscovia exhibits an air of distaste for its subject matter," particularly in its "animus towards Russian religion and implied contempt for their ignorance, savagery and barbarity" including examines that John Michael Archer even describes Milton representation of the tsar's power as exhibiting an "almost satanic majesty."
