Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This is the first systematic study of civil law in late Imperial Russia. It shows that efforts to adjust family, property, and inheritance law to changing social and economic conditions often became intertwined with attempts to shape society in accordance with competing ideological ideals. Through a restructuring of the family's legal basis, members of the growing educated and professional strata of society in particular endeavoured to promote conflictingconeptions of authority, individuality, gender, and law. Legal reform also served for members of the emerging legal and medical professions as a way to establish their authority, often at the expense of thestate administration and the Orthodox Chruch. Civil law in late Imperial Russia therefore constituted both an important medium for ideological redefinition and a field of battle for those seeking to reform, to overthrow, or to defend the ancien regime. Because this battle extended into the state bureaucracy, legislative change proved extremely difficult. Newly empowered by the 1864 judicial reform, the judiciar responded to legislative inaction by not merely adaptingthe law, but also by promoting an ideal of the family whose values and principles challenged those underlying the autocracy. Professor Wagner's detailed and scholarly analysis of these issues offersmany important insights into cultural attitudes and political structures in late Imperial Russia. This is the first systematic study of civil law in late Imperial Russia. It shows how efforts to reform the civil law provoked conflict within and between the state administration, the Orthodox Church, and society in general. It incorporates many sources only recently made available, and is an important contribution to the history of late Imperial Russia.
