This book examines the rise of Russia and her triumph against Sweden in the Great Northern War (1700-21). Rather than being a straight narrative history the events are looked at through the writings of Charles Whitworth the first British Ambassador to Russia and British minister in The Hague Berlin Ratisbon and Cambrai. Drawing on a wide variety of manuscript sources Janet Hartley has produced a compelling account both of Whitworth and the momentous events taking place in Europe at the beginning of the eighteenth century
