New York: St. Martin's Press, 1988. Scholarly text traces the history of the urban wing of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party (PSR) through the revolution of 1905-07 and on to the eve of the First World War. In the process, the validity of a number of assumptions and generalizations about the party is challenged, while support for the PSR is revealed as having been more widespread, occupationally diversified and politically significant than many previously believed. This study treats "peasant-proletarians" as revolutionary actors in their own right with distinctive interests and aspirations, informed by the combined influence of town and countryside, field and factory. The author draws extensively on previously unpublished archival material as well as newspapers, journals, and biographical data. 272 pgs. Illustrated. Dustjacket in mylar.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
