Everything about Timofey Granovsky totally explained
Timofey Nikolayevich Granovsky (
March 9,
1813–
October 4,
1855) was a founder of
mediaeval studies in the
Russian Empire.
Granovsky studied at the universities of
Moscow and
Berlin, where he was profoundly influenced by
Hegelian ideas of
Leopold von Ranke and
Friedrich Karl von Savigny. He felt that the Western history was superior to that of his own country, and became the first Russian to deliver courses on the medieval history of Western Europe (
1839). Due to the strict censorship of the period, Granovsky didn't care to put his ideas in writing, assuming that lecturing provided a surer way of disseminating Western ideals in
Russia. The best regarded of his printed works is a
pioneering attempt to disprove the historicity of
Vineta.
His readings in the
Moscow University were immensely popular and brought him in touch with other Westernizers. One of these,
Alexander Herzen, described Granovsky's lectures as "a draught of freedom in
Nicholas I's Russia".
