Martina Ciceri explores the cosmopolitan aesthetics of Jaakoff Prelooker’s magazine 'The Anglo-Russian' in Late-Victorian England.

At the turn of the 20th century, Russian emigration to Britain fostered cross-cultural encounters, offering an unprecedented opportunity for cosmopolitanism.

By posing a challenge to hegemonic discourses and traditional narrative, such encounters triggered the negotiation of the cosmopolitan aesthetics of 'The Anglo-Russian' magazine.
