W. BRUCE LINCOLN, one of America's leading experts on Russia, was the Distinguished Research Professor of Russian History at Northern Illinois University. Among his many acclaimed books are The Romanovs and Between Heaven and Hell: The Story of a Thousand Years of Artistic Life in Russia.
"A fitting testament to [Lincoln's] literary skill. It evokes vividly the unconscionable gulf between the life of the city's aristocratic patrons and the misery of the masses." —The New York Times

"An affectionate, symphonic biography of St. Petersburg. Lincoln possessed a true gift for teaching that flowed over into his gently instructive and deeply evocative writing." —russian life
"Erudite, but gracefully written, [Sunlight at Midnight] displays all of the qualities that made Lincoln the foremost author of accessible books on Russian history."
—Choice
"Lincoln's book catches the immense pathos of the place [St. Petersburg] now, and gives a ,real and moving sense of how it earned it."
—The Financial Times
"Lincoln's twelfth and last book shows that he has lost none of his astonishing ability to bring to life whole centuries of Russian history."
—Times Literary Supplement Vissza
