Morgan Philips Price,Tania Rose
A special correspondent for the ,Manchester Guardian,, Morgan Philips Price was one of the few Englishmen in Russia during all phases of the Revolution. Although his Bolshevik sympathies accorded him an insiderâ€™s perspective on much of the turmoil, his reports were often heavily revised or suppressed. In ,Dispatches from the Revolution, ,Tania Rose collects for the first time Priceâ€™s correspondence from Russiaâ€”official and unofficial, published and unpublishedâ€”to reveal a side of Russian life and politics that fell largely unreported in the years before, during, and after the Revolution.,This collection includes Priceâ€™s pre-censored observations and comment, written for a range of British publications, as well as letters, postcards, and other writings. A foreword by Eric Hobsbawm and introductory material by Rose place Priceâ€™s observations in biographical and historical context. ,Dispatches from the Revolution, offers an account of the Russian Revolution from an eyewitness whose political commitment, fluency in Russian, and extensive travel far beyond the cities permitted him to write, uniquely, not only of metropolitan news and politics, but also of the experiences and issues signficant to ordinary peasants, workers, and soldiers in remote areas of the Russian empire.,An important source to scholars of Russian history, this book will also appeal to general readers with interests in Russia, journalism, and world affairs.
