Catherine the Great: A Short History3 reviews
Isabel de Madariaga

Yale University Press, 2002

A Superior Study of a Great Woman

+ Good history

Catherine is one of history's most complex, intelligent, strong-willed and resourceful women. de Mariaga's account is accurate and straightforward. Though she lacks the rhetorical flourish and eye-for-drama that makes Troyat's bio such a joy to read, de Mariaga pays closer attention to historical ...
  
  











  



  
Catherine the Great (Profiles in Power)1 review
Simon Dixon

Longman, 2001

What a mess

That this book is part of the same Profiles in Power series as Hartley's Alexander I and Carwardine's Lincoln simply boggles the mind. Was the editor on vacation? The best part of the book is the cover, featuring a painting of Catherine. Unfortunately, the book is not even worth opening. ...

Frequently historians have chosen to focus on the more on the love affairs of Catherine the Great rather than on what she actually did to achieve greatness.

Northern Illinois University Press, 2004

Love, Conquest, and More

We've all seen the Hollywood melodramas about Catherine the Great with the heaving bosums and the dashing guards. Even the BBC version is mostly fluff. But the real history of Catherine's life, especially the story of her remarkable relationship with Count Potemkin, is much more interesting. ...
