The main focus of his works is Russia XVIII centuries.
Russian writer-historian Evgeny Petrovich Karnovich was born in 1823 in the village of Lupandino, located near Yaroslavl. He did not attend gymnasium, but instead received an excellent education at home, after which he completed a course at the St. Petersburg Pedagogical Institute. For some time the young teacher taught ancient greek language at the Kaluga gymnasium, which, it seems, did not in any way affect his work, and then served as the head of affairs in the office of the trustee of the Vilna educational district. In 1859, having served his pension, Karnovich retired and settled in St. Petersburg, where until the end of his life (he died in 1885) he was the director of the prison committee. But Evgeniy Petrovich considered his main occupation to be journalistic activity and historical research. At first, Karnovich even collaborated in such a progressive magazine as Sovremennik, where he published a study on serfdom in Poland (1858) and a series of essays on Polish ancient life (1860–1863), as well as an article on the significance of Bironovism in Russian history, published in “Notes of the Fatherland” (1873). One of the most famous historical novels by E. Karnovich, “Love and the Crown,” published in 1879, is also connected with this research. The novel is dedicated to the events that took place during the reign of Anna Ioannovna.
In 1861–1862, Karnovich published his own weekly magazine, “World Mediator,” which did not gain much popularity among readers. The magazine had to be closed, and the publicist himself became a permanent employee of the newspaper “Golos”, where he worked until 1871. Subsequently, Karnovich turned to journalism twice more: he edited “Birzhevye Vedomosti” (1875–1876) and the magazine “Otgoloski” (1881–1882). His main occupation is last years life were historical studies. For a quarter of a century creative activity Evgeniy Karnovich published a huge number of articles of the most diverse nature: critical, journalistic, historical. Scientific works and Karnovich’s popular works appeared on the pages of “Historical Bulletin”, “Week”, “Russian Thought”, “People’s School”, “Novi” and others printed publications. He willingly wrote everyday essays and original historical miniatures. Some of these small works were republished in the collection “ Historical stories and everyday essays”, published in 1884, shortly before the author’s death. His most famous works include such studies as “The Popes of Rome in the Past and the Present” (“Dawn”, 1860), “Tsarevich Konstantin Pavlovich” (“Russian Antiquity”, 1877–1878), “Prince Al. N. Golitsyn and his time" (" Historical Bulletin", 1882), "Empress Elizabeth Petrovna and King Louis XV" (ibid., 1884). Even from short list These works show the European orientation of E.P.’s historical interests. Karnovich. This conclusion is confirmed by the posthumously published works of the historian, such as: “Finance of Russia in the Last Century” (“Nov”, 1887), “Foreign and Domestic Trade in Russia in the 18th Century.” (“Nove”, 1888), but above all – very interesting research, published as a separate publication: “Ancestral nicknames and titles in Russia” (1886), republished in post-Soviet times.
Most of Karnovich's historical novels and stories take place in the 18th century. The novel “Knights of Malta in Russia” is dedicated to the events of the time of Paul I, the era of Catherine II is described in the novel “Self-Proclaimed Children”, the struggle for the throne of Princess Sofia Alekseevna is described in “At the Height and at the Valley”. But the greatest interest in literary heritage writer presents a novel from the era palace coups“Love and the Crown”, the re-release of which in 1995 re-opened Evgeniy Karnovich to the mass reader.
