Felicity Stout 
Exploring Russia in the Elizabethan commonwealth 
The Muscovy Company and Giles Fletcher, the elder (1546–1611)

Concentrates on the fascinating life and work of Giles Fletcher, the elder (1546–1611) and his analysis of government and commonwealth, through the image of Russia. His account of Russia remains the most comprehensive early modern western European account of the ‘barbaric’ land on Christendom’s borders.
