Daniel Rowland taught in the History Department at the University of Kentucky from 1974 to 2012, and served as Director of the Gaines Center for the Humanities at UK. His books include Mannerism, Style and Mood and Architectures of Russian Identity, 1500-Present, (edited with James Cracraft.) He is a civic activist with a keen interest in historic preservation, and has sung in the Yale Whiffenpoofs and the Yale Russian Chorus, for which he served as assistant conductor.
Over his career Daniel Rowland has given us a complex,
source-based, new paradigm of Muscovite political thought.
Throughout these essays his basic humanity is on display,
particularly in generous recognition of fellow scholars. But do not
let these warm acknowledgments lull you into missing how original,
how erudite, and how path-breaking his work is.
*The Russian Review*
Rowland's examination of sources as diverse as saint's lives,
throne room frescos, icons, architecture and ritual is a tour de
force
