RESEARCH:
My second book project is tentatively titled _Alexander's Mysticism_ and will concern itself with a circle of women mystics surrounding Alexander I of Russia in the 1810s and 20s. The book will address gender and religious practice, the various alternatives to official Orthodoxy in this period, the transmission and reception of ideas relating to unreason from Western Europe to Russia, and the connections between all this and the developing conservatisms and nationalisms of the early and mid-nineteenth century, as well as the effect of involvement in these movements on the reign of Alexander I.
