It includes the more bizarre aspects of his character, such as his interest in dwarfs, the use of disguises, clowning and vandalism. The main sources are Peter's letters and papers, both published and unpublished, as well as other contemporary accounts and documents." "The narrative comprises both the public and private life, the life Peter lived as well as his significant fantasy world. Hughes offers fascinating new material on the 'alternative' or 'parallel' history of Peter's many disguises and pseudonyms, his deference to a number of mock superiors, and his relationships with individuals such as his second wife Catherine and his favourite Alexander Menshikov." "In each chapter Hughes explores Peter's image in painting and sculpture, bringing the story to the present day with a discussion of controversial monuments in Moscow and St. Petersburg."-- Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Peter|bI,|cEmperor of Russia,|d1672-1725.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80126171 600 04 Peter,|bI,|cEmperor of Russia,|d1672-1725. 600 07 Peter|bI,|cEmperor of Russia,|d1672-1725.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/61539 600 16 Pierre|bIer,|cempereur de Russie,|d1672-1725. 600 17 Peter (Russland, Zar, I.)|2swd 650 0 Emperors|zRussia|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008103004 650 7 Emperors.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/908898 651 4 Russia|xKings and rulers|vBiography. 651 7 Russia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1207312 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHughes, Lindsey, 1949-2007.|tPeter the Great|z0300094264|w(DLC) 2001007276|w(OCoLC)48468909 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=978000|zOnline eBook.
