Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Russian Fairy Tales by William Ralston Shedden Ralston ..This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.RALSTON, WILLIAM RALSTON SHEDDEN- (1828-1889), Russian scholar, born April 4, 1828 at York Terrace, Regent's Park, was the only son of WP Ralston Shedden, who, as a merchant in Calcutta, accumulated a considerable fortune. On his return to this country, the father settled in Palmira Square, Brighton, and it was there that the son of his early years spent the most time. He was educated by the Rev. John Hogg of Brixham, Devonshire, where, in the company of three or four children of the same age, he studied until he went to university. In 1846 he enrolled at Trinity College Cambridge and graduated from BA in 1850.
