      ab: The author comments on the views made by Sir Giles Fletcher in his book "Of the Rus Commonwealth," notably on the notions that he fostered about Russia, notions which were apparently common in England during his time. He addresses the fact that Fletcher's book, being an early example of travel writing, would understandably contain cultural perceptions and opinions. He discusses the background for Fletcher's book, including Fletcher's tenure in Muscovy, Russia and the differences that exist between England and Russia.
