Revelations
Bi-Millenial Papers from the
Canadian Museum of Civilization
Edited by Robert J. Klymasz and

of research drawn from all branches of the Canadian
Museum of Civilization Corporation, including the
Canadian Postal Museum and the Canadian War
Museum as well as the Canadian Museum of
Civilization’s research divisions in archaeology, ethnology,
history, and cultural studies. In recognition of
the year 2000 and its significance for the Christian
world, religion in one or more of its aspects provides
the common feature that brings together the book’s
variety of subject matter, concerns, and methodologies.

All Russia is Burning!
A Cultural History of Fire and
Arson in Late Imperial Russia
Cathy A. Frierson
Between 1860 and 1904, accidental and arson fire
destroyed almost three billion rubles worth of property
and acted as a brake on Russia’s economic
development. In this book, Frierson explores the history
of fire and arson in rural European Russia as a
history of cultural meaning in the late imperial campaign
for modernity. Her study demonstrates both
peasant agency in fighting fire and educated
Russians’ hardening conviction that peasants – particularly
women peasants – stood in the way of
Russia’s advent into the company of prosperous,
rational, civilized nations.
Cathy A. Frierson is Professor of History, University of
New Hampshire.
