The eight studies collected here comprise the best one-volume picture of the nineteenth-century Russian peasantry now available in English. They also strikingly demonstrate the centrality of the peasant in the entire institutional and cultural history of Russia. Topics considered are the peasant's daily life, the abolition of serfdom, the treatment of the peasant in historiography and literature, peasant religion, the peasant in the army, the obshchina or village commune, and peasants as factory workers. All but one of the papers were presented, in somewhat different form, at the Conference on the Russian Peasant at Stanford University in December 1966.
