This book is a concise and comprehensive narrative history of Russia from 980 to 1584. Presenting developments in social and economic areas, as well as in political history, foreign relations, religion and culture, Janet Martin breaks away from the traditional view of Old Russia as a static, immutable culture, and emphasizes the "dynamic" and changing qualities of Russian society. She develops lines of argument that lead to clear conclusions concerning how and why the states and society of the lands of the Rus’ assumed the forms and characteristics that they did.

Gestures and looks played an even more important role in public and private exchanges of medieval society, than they do today. Gestures meant more than words, for example, in ceremonies of homage and fealty. In this compelling study, medievalist Burrow examines the role of non-verbal communication in a range of narrative texts, including Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde, the anonymous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Malory’s Morte D’arthur, the romances of Chrétien de Troyes, the prose Lancelot, Boccaccio’s Il Filostrato, and Dante’s Commedia.
