A landmark work of modern historiography, Roots of Revolution chronicles the rise and development of the populist and socialist movements that swept through nineteenth-century Russia, laying the ideological groundwork for the revolutions to come. Franco Venturi, one of the foremost historians of Russian radical thought, presents a sweeping yet meticulously researched account of the thinkers, agitators, and underground networks that challenged the Tsarist autocracy. Drawing on an enormous range of primary sources, the work uncovers the intellectual currents — from Herzen and Bakunin to Nechaev and the Narodniks — that transformed Russian society and ignited the revolutionary imagination. Translated by Francis Haskell and introduced by Sir Isaiah Berlin, this authoritative volume remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand how radical ideas shaped the course of modern history.
