George Jewsbury

George Jewsbury

George F. Jewsbury is an academic who has collaborated on several best-selling textbooks in the "Civilization: Past & Present" series. He has also written several books on history, including "Russian Annexation of Bessarabia, 1774-1828". He was a professor of history at Oklahoma State University. He is a specialist of Russia, including the USSR.

He is the uncle of author Neal Stephenson, and collaborated with his nephew on two different books, "Interface" (1994) and "The Cobweb" (1996). For these books he adopted the pseudonym J. Frederick George, and the two of them then adopted the collaborative pseudonym of Stephen Bury (that is, it was revealed after the books' publication that Stephen Bury was a pseudonym for Neal Stephenson and his uncle, J. Frederick George -- it was then further revealed (after several years) that J. Frederick George was a pseudonym for George Jewsbury). He is today a teacher at the "EABJM" in France.
