China from the Ruins of Athens and Rome

Classics, Sinology, and Romanticism, 1793-1938

Beschreibung

Fascinated and often baffled by China, Anglophone writers have turned to classics to provide interpretative paradigms and narrative shape to inform their understanding. This volume reveals key insights into British cosmopolitanism, which sought its bearings in the ancient past in encounters with Qing Dynasty China.
